Boil notices have been posted. The system is hoping to have follow up samples by the end of March (sooner if possible) Lifted 03/21/2018: The water system, due to numerous leaks in the old distribution piping, has closed until replacement of the lines can be done. The system is working on funding for this. They will be keeping in contact on the status of the replacement. |
