ALERT! Please conserve water until further notice today. Water supply levels are critically low due to a main line break at the Skull Shoals Water Treatment. The Aonia Water Treatment Plant could normally offset the lost water by increasing its production. However, heavy rains create high turbidity which greatly reduces the amount of water that can be treated per hour. The combination of those two factors puts our water supply at critically low levels until the leak is repaired today. Customers are urged to conserve water. Please limit usage to minimal needs. We appreciate your cooperation.
