Repairs are being made today on the water main break effecting the Agency Water System.  Water is being turned off to conduct the repairs.  If all goes well – they should be able to complete the job by tonight.  Residents will be able to use water that is stored in the reservoir towers until it runs low.  Some may experience low water pressure or loss of pressure.  Portable toilets have been placed around the community for anyone who needs to use them during this repair time.

The Boil Water Notice remains in effect for the Agency Water System and will continue once the repair is completed.  EPA will lift the notice once the system is restored and testing is okay.

Symptoms for COVID-19 can include: Fever, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Chills, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat, loss of taste or smell.

  • If you have Covid-19, you should isolate, whether or not you have symptoms.
  • Isolation separates people who are infected with virus from others, even in their home.
  •  If you might have been exposed to COVID-19, you should stay home.
  • This is called quarantine. Quarantine keeps someone who might have been exposed to the virus away from others.
