For the Rutsatz Neighborhood:

On Wednesday, May 27th, contractors will be completing electrical work on the pumphouse to install an emergency generator. Starting at approximately 10:30am, electrical power to the pumphouse will be shut off for 1-2 hours. During this time, the system will be only be gravity-fed from the tower. Water service will not be completely interrupted, however for the duration of the electrical tie-in, pressure may be noticeably reduced. Thank you for your understanding while we complete this work to make the system more resilient to future power outages, and please feel free to contact the Utility Department with any questions.
