The notice

On 01/31/20 our program was made aware that the system is unable to make water and has run out of stored treated water. System will remain on BWN until able to meet community water demand and contact time. Additionally, prior to lifting the BWN, ensure the backflow prevention assembly (BFP) has been replaced or repaired, or that an approved corrective action plan is in place. Close or extend the BFP deficiency as appropriate. ddb/KB -kcs
