New Alert

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS – WATER MAIN REPAIR Rural Water District No. 2 is currently repairing a 16-inch water main along K-68 Highway that was damaged by a contractor. Crews are actively working to complete the repair as quickly as possible. During the repair, we are relying on stored water in our system to continue serving customers, particularly those east of U.S. 69 Highway. At this time, we are asking customers to voluntarily conserve water today until 7:00pm while the repairs are being completed. Normal household water use is fine, but please postpone non-essential or high-volume water use such as lawn watering, filling pools or tanks, and other activities that can wait until tonight. Some customers may experience lower-than-normal water pressure while the water main is being repressurized. Conserving water will help maintain system pressure and preserve our stored water supply until the repair is complete. There is no need to stockpile water. Doing so would increase demand on the system at a time when conserving our stored water is most helpful. We are working to complete the repair and will provide additional updates if conditions change. Thank you for your cooperation and patience while crews work to complete these necessary repairs.

Who do I contact if I have a leak?

If you determine you have a leak, you would need to take steps to repair it or contact someone who would be able to. The District cannot make any recommendations on who to hire.

What do I do if I have a high bill?

The District billing runs a month behind. When you receive your bill verify the usage dates on the top right section of the statement to help determine if you were using additional water at that time. During summer months higher usage may be caused by: pools, watering (gardens, flowers, trees, grass), hoses that have been left running, extra watering for animals, sprinkler systems, etc. During winter months it could be: faucets left dripping for cold weather, extra watering of animals due to frozen water conditions, or furnace humidifiers. If you still cannot account for the usage, begin checking for a leak.

My pressure is low, what do I do?

If you suddenly have low pressure, check your meter to see if a leak has occurred. Water softeners can also cause low pressure if they are having an issue. If we are experiencing any leaks or if work is being done, information is available online at our website, Facebook, and Twitter pages. If you do not see anything relating to you, call the office.

What are common places for leaks to occur?

Common culprits for leaks are toilets, sinks, anywhere you have a connection in the water line, livestock waterers or water hoses left on.
