Well, the worst thing that could happen this time of year has. We had a full 2″ pipe break that was repaired as quickly as possible. Our tank went from 100,000 gallons to 20,000 gallons in a matter of a few hours. The good news is that the leak is repaired, and we still have water left in our storage tank. The bad news is that it is going to take the better part of a week to get the tank filled back up.
Please conserve where you can. We are putting up the Stage II water restriction sign to help everyone remember.
We will let everyone know once we are caught up.
Thank you,
