Mar
A water conservation notice is in effect for the Warm Springs Agency Water System due to a fire that occurred at the Water Treatment Facility last Friday. Reservoir tanks have run out for many of the Agency Water System areas. For those residents impacted – there are portable toilets and showers open 6am – 9pm at the Emergency Management Office at the old Elementary School. Drinking water is also available there along with gray water if you bring your own containers, to use to flush your toilet. Please conserve water to stretch water still left in reservoir tanks south of Shitike Creek. If you do not currently have water – turn off your water heater at the circuit breaker box – to prevent damage when water is restored.
The search continues for 71 year old Lewis Selam in the Peter’s Pasture area. He has been missing since last Wednesday (3/16/22). If you have any information or can volunteer in the search efforts – please contact his family or the Warm Springs Police Department.
