Public Announcements

May 4, 2026 - UPDATE: Water Service Restored The Public Works Department has completed the E. Colorado St. fire hydrant replacement. Water service is fully restored. BOIL WATER ADVISORY A precautionary boil advisory is in effect for the area impacted by the E. Colorado Street fire hydrant replacement. This advisory will remain active until lab results confirm the water is safe for consumption, typically within 24 to 48 hours. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Once water service returns, residents who experienced an outage or low pressure should follow these steps: • Boil all water vigorously for three minutes before using it for drinking or cooking. • Allow boiled water to cool sufficiently before use. • Disinfect dishes by soaking them for one minute in clean tap water mixed with one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon. • Dispose of all current ice cubes and only remake them using boiled or bottled water. • Continue boiling water for consumption until the official advisory is lifted. • Note: Water used for bathing does not need to be boiled. If you notice discolored water, run your cold-water faucets until the water runs clear. We appreciate your patience as we complete these necessary infrastructure improvements.
