New Alert

💧 RWD #2 TO USE FREE CHLORINE 💧 The District will temporarily discontinue using combined chlorine on October 1, 2026. 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! Thank you for your patience and understanding while we complete this annual maintenance.

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.
