Updated 3/31/25 8:45 am: Crews have located the leak on Orchard Rd. They should be able to further isolate the leak, which should have everyone back in water except for Orchard Rd and Dixon. A boil advisory call will go out soon for those affected.
Updated 12:35 am: Crews have isolated the area in which we believe the leak is located. Doing so, allowed for Lee Turner customers to have water restored. We have issued a boil water advisory for those customers until Wednesday April 2, 2025, at 5 pm. We do still have several customers without water. Unfortunately, due to the water levels in the area they believe the leak to be located, they will remain without water until in the morning when crews can better assess the situation.
10:00 pm : We are investigating a water outage in the Southern portion of the county, affecting Lee Turner & Orchard Rd (that we know of so far). There are several trees down in the area making access limited. Crews will do their best to determine the cause and restore water as quickly and safely as they can.
