Well 13 Activated Due to Emergency Mechanical Situation

Attention! An emergency mechanical situation has caused two City drinking water wells to be non-functional at this time. Combined with the hot weather over the weekend, the City has had to turn on Well 13 as a precaution earlier than intended.  Well 13 will be the last well in rotation and will only be used if water consumption reaches a high level and the other City wells cannot keep up. With that in mind, you can help postpone or limit the use of Well 13 through water conservation efforts – primarily limiting use of your irrigation system, and at most, watering on odd/even days based on your address throughout the summer. Due to the nature of this emergency, we were unable to notify the public via a mailer, as we have done previously. However, we still plan to inform the public via mail ASAP and will provide additional information on our PFAS response. Water supply is vital for the health of the community and the difficult decision to turn Well 13 on now as a precaution was made only due to the emergency situation, but we want to ensure that water can be provided to all customers.
