PUBLIC NOTICE
Well Pump Repair Update
November 6, 2026
The District is pleased to report that water quality testing of the primary well has been completed successfully and the well has now been returned to service. As a result, the water conservation measures implemented during the repair and testing period are being lifted. Conservation signage posted throughout the District will be removed.
While the immediate need for conservation has passed, members are encouraged to continue using water responsibly and making conservation part of their daily routine. With forecasts calling for warmer conditions and reduced snowpack, ongoing conservation efforts will help support a reliable water supply in the months ahead.
The Board would like to thank all members for their patience, understanding, and cooperation throughout the pump replacement, repair, and testing process. Your efforts to conserve water while the primary well was offline contributed significantly to ensuring a reliable water supply during this period.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and commitment to responsible water use.
Well Pump Repair Update
October 24, 2026
Work to restore the District’s primary well to service is continuing following the pump replacement. Additional treatment, flushing and testing are required before the well can be returned to operation.
The contractor is working with the District’s Operator to complete the necessary work. Once this is finished, further water testing will be required, with results expected to take approximately two weeks.
In the meantime, customers are asked to continue using water responsibly and to avoid excessive or non-essential water use while the work is underway. These are conservation measures, not formal water-use restrictions. Customers may continue to use water as needed, and everyone’s cooperation in conserving water will help the District manage its available supply while the primary well remains offline.
The water conservation signs posted throughout the District will be removed once the well has been returned to service and the conservation measures are no longer required. Their removal will serve as a visible indication that the conservation measures have ended.
The District appreciates everyone’s continued patience and cooperation and will provide further updates as the work progresses.

Temporary Water Conservation Measures – Effective Immediately
