Our operators found a sensor issue that is causing the plant to not produce water and the storage tanks are critically low. Operators are working to troubleshoot the sensor and hope to be making water to fill the tanks soon.
Homes on Horizon Lane tend to lose water first so be aware if you have additional pumping systems. Please conserve water throughout the morning and early day.

Lab tests confirmed water samples were negative for contaminates from the leak at the corner of Wagontire and Homestead April 10th, 2026. The Boil Water Advisory has been lifted for all residents. Thank you!
Water plant operators, OEC, are expecting water sample test results to be back on Thursday, April 16 after Friday nights main line repair. Boil Water Advisory is still in effect until test results are back.
