August 27, 2024 - WATER TOWER

Well # 3 has been repaired and put back into service on Monday, August 26, 2024 after two water samples were taken on August 20 and August 22, 2024. Both samples came back absent for contaminates. The water system is back to its normal operating condition, discoloration of water can still occur from the iron found in the aquifer. Iron is a naturally occurring mineral that gives water a metallic taste and orange discoloration. If you experience discoloration of the water please RUN THE COLD WATER TAP in your bath tub until it clears up and this should minimize the discolored water going to other parts of your house.

August 2, 2024 - WATER TOWER

The Water Tower was returned to service on July 15, 2024, since then we are experiencing issues at the well house that is keeping the system stirred up causing discolored water, some light in color, other is really red. The discoloration is from the heavy amounts of iron that came from the aquifer. The water is tested regularly and is safe to drink, just not aesthetically pleasing to look at. The issues with the well have been isolated and will be repaired in the next 2 weeks. Sorry for any inconvenience this issue has caused. If you do have discoloration in your lines, please run the COLD water tap in your bathtub until the issue clears up and this should minimize the dirty water going to other parts of your house.
