We have experienced several main breaks today. Our distribution staff have been working tirelessly to repair these breaks so our customers don’t have to go without water.
The areas affected by a boil water advisory currently are Perryville Rd/ Pleasant Dr., Thurman Ln, and Pearl Harbor. Calls, texts or door tags have went out to all customers affected. You can also check the comments for a link for active boil water advisories. Thank you again to our dedicated staff who always ensures we have safe drinking water!
