Friday Update

June 26, 2026

The South tower is filling as of right now we are unable to see how much water is in that tower, but we are hoping to get that issue resolved this morning so we can see exactly how much is in there. Snow: Is hooked up to Nashoba, Rattan you should have water but probably low pressure, Sobol:should be restored by Saturday, but can't guarantee anything. Turkey creek: May be another full day again can't guarantee anything. Soper: Some may have water restored with low pressure hopefully by Saturday all will have something again can't guarantee. Moyers: You should have water with low pressure for some, higher elevations probably another 24 hours again can't guarantee. Miller: Those at lower elevations may have service just low pressure: Higher elevations another 24 hours again no guarantee. West: Should see water restored within 24 hrs again no guarantee. Please note we cannot guarantee exact dates and or times. We have a large system!!! It is a slow process we have to backwash the filters at the plant they sat for 24 hours, taking water. The lines and towers have to fill slowly to prevent to much pressure going out at one time to prevent huge blow out in the water lines.

PLEASE EMAIL US AT [email protected] OR CALL US AND LET US KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND IF YOU HAVE WATER, LOW PRESSURE OR NONE AT ALL SO WE CAN PINPOINT WHERE WE NEED TO LOOK AT. THAT WAY WE CAN FIND OUT IF THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON.
