Automated Notification Calls

The District tries to notify patrons who will be affected by line breaks or work being done that will have an impact on the water service. These calls are sent through an automated calling service to notify those in the work area. It is important for the District to have current contact numbers on file for patrons to receive these calls. Please contact the Office if you have had a number change since setting up your account. If you are not sure, please call the Office and we will be happy to verify the information on file. If you receive the automated call, please be patient when answering, it does take a few seconds for the call to connect.

RWD #2 To Use Free Chlorine

The District will temporarily discontinue using combined chlorine on August 9, 2021.  Instead, free chlorine will be used for up to thirty days.  This is part of the District’s annual maintenance program.  Patrons may notice a stronger than usual chlorine taste and smell to the water.  This is only temporary and is necessary to “burn out” the system to kill certain “nitrifying” bacteria that do not show up on the routine sampling.  These bacteria are not harmful to humans or animals.  They tend to cause slime growths within the waterlines and create a higher than normal demand on chlorine, thus lowering disinfection properties.

The chlorine taste may linger after the free chlorine has been discontinued.  Some areas may not notice the taste difference for up to three weeks after this treatment change.  In some cases, there may be some natural soluble iron and manganese present in the waterlines.  Free chlorine may further oxidize these substances.  If you notice off-colored water, call the District office and we will flush in your area.

Your water will continue to be safe to use and drink!
