Will I be informed whenever the distribution system requires maintenance?
Yes, our website has a daily list of irrigation repairs that will be taking place. For planned repairs that involve an entire lateral a letter will be sent out to customers in advance. For repairs that involve only a few customers, phone calls will be made. If an emergency outage occurs and an immediate shut down is required, we will contact our Customer Service Representatives so that if you do call in to inquire about water outages they will be able to inform you of the disruption in service and any other pertinent information that might be available.
