Community Calendar for Friday June 14, 2019

  • Work will began on Monday on the repairs for the Shitike Creek water main line crossing. It is expected that water will be shut off on Tuesday, starting at 5:00 am for a minimum of 36 hours. Project updates will be provided to the community as the work progresses.
  • Public Utilities staff completed work to minimize water outages to the community and it is anticipated that these outages will be contained to the Campus area only, not everything south of Highway 26 as previously projected. Additional updates will be provided should anything change with water outage impacts.
  • Please continue to conserve water – no watering the lawn or using excessive water. This will help to help maintain reservoir levels.
  • Portable toilets are placed throughout the community and there are showers with hot water set up at the Old Warm Springs Elementary School.
  • The boil water order remains in place and will continue until after the broken water main is fixed. That means you should boil water for drinking or cooking, washing dishes, brushing teeth & making ice OR else use bottled water.
  • Drinking water distribution is taking place at the Old Elementary School Library.
