| Details: | We are doing a waterline upgrade project on Pennsylvania Avenue.
On Wednesday 1/14 the contractor is cutting into the mainline at the intersection of Hwy 101 / Penn Ave to install a valve.
Water to the Pennsylvania Heights neighborhood (approximately 40 homes), Paradise Cove RV Park, and Depot Avenue will be without water for approximately 8 hours. The system will not have pressure at this time, so we are issuing a boil notice (attached)
I have also attached a system map, with the boil affected areas circled in red (on the South end of town)
After the repairs are made we will flush the lines and bring the system online. Thursday morning I will take Coliform samples and run into ALexin Lab. We will notify users on Friday around noon when we have the lab results back.
