| Details: | A large line break occurred on one side of town, causing water from the reservoirs to flow to that area rather than the other side of town. Pressure was lost in the South Baker area. The leak was repaired and operators are flushing and restoring pressure. they will follow best management practices and issue a boil advisory to customers who lost pressure. they will collect a coliform sample in the morning and expect results back by noon friday. Lifted 04/03/2026: Received confirmation from the lab that all samples collected on 4/2/26 after the main breaks were repaired tested absent for bacteria, allowing the boil advisory to be lifted. |
