Well Field Update - 7/2/2019

On Monday, July 1st, contractors were on-site at the Twin Creeks Well Field installing a pump into one of the high-production wells. By the end of the day, that pump had been installed and Public Works began re-filling the critically low reservoir. Filling the reservoir continued into Tuesday, and officials are comfortable with the storage capacity. A pump will be installed in another well on Wednesday. This will bring a total of 4 wells back on to the system, which will adequately supply both storage, and system use. 

Effective at 7:00pm on Tuesday, residents may continue HAND WATERING outdoor plants. The use of sprinklers is still prohibited until further notice. Residents found to be running sprinklers before the restrictions are completely lifted will be warned subject to disconnection. The Town plans to phase out the existing restrictions as equipment comes on-line to prevent over-working the system in periods of high demand.

The Town will inform residents when the use of sprinklers and automatic irrigation systems can continue. Additional regulations on the use of those systems will also be made available to residents.

Residents are reminded to continue to be conscientious of water use until restrictions are entirely lifted.
