There was weather related damage to the raw water line, that has lowered capacity until permanent repairs can be made. The plant is still operating as normal, and the water is safe to drink. We are still asking everyone to follow the steps listed below. In addition, please check your irrigation system to make sure it does not go off, and only drip faucets if necessary.

To maintain water pressure and prevent widspread outages or low pressure conditions, we are issuing an IMMEDIATE request for emergency water conservation.

-Conserve water aggressively. Please delay doing laundry, running the dishwasher or taking long showers.

-Drip your faucets responsibly. Set you faucet furthest from the meter to a slow drip (1-2 drips per second). Do NOT run a full stream or multiple faucets.
