WATER TREATMENT PLANT UPDATE:
We are still working on the problem, please continue to conserve your water.
The Band Office will be closed due to no water and no wash room availability.
We apologize for any inconvenience the closure may cause.
We will continue to update.
WATER TREATMENT PLANT UPDATE:
The water pressure is very low right now. Please conserve your water until we can fix the problem.
Watch your hot water tanks as well, if the water goes too low in the tank, it could burn out. Turn off the breaker to the tank to avoid this. Once the water is back to capacity and the pressure is up, turn the breaker back on. This is just a temporary measure and will save the hot water tank.
We have people working on the problem right now. You will have to do your part and conserve the water until it is back to capacity.
The intake line to the water treatment plant is plugged. That’s why the water reservoir is low. The intake line is 30 feet under water. This requires divers. The divers will be out this week.
Thank you for your cooperation
