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.   Crews will be onsite today to assess what is needed to restore power to the plant.  In the meantime, water outages have begun and will continue until the Water Treatment Plant is back up and running.  For those residents impacted – there are portable toilets and showers open 6am – 9pm at the Emergency Management Office at the old Elementary School.  Water is also available there.  Agency Water System Users are asked to conserve water by making sure to turn off running water when doing dishes or brushing teeth, skipping baths and showers or taking shorter showers, limiting use of your washing machine and ensuring that outside water is completely turned off.  If you do lose water service – turn off your water heater at the circuit box – to prevent damage when water is restored.

Local families and the Warm Springs Police Department are asking for any information you may have regarding Missing Persons.
