  • The Boil Water Order Remains in effect for the Agency Water System. A water main break near Shitike Creek will take time to repair.  In the meantime everyone in the Agency System needs to boil water for drinking or making food or else use bottled water.   Everyone in the community needs to limit water use to essential activities like boiling for use and flushing toilets.  The water distribution system is struggling to fill water tanks and so using less water helps to maintain those reserves.
