COTTFN Community: Please keep conserving water through the weekend.
Good news first. Our Water Department got the treatment system back up and running around 5:00 AM this morning after working through the night. We are operational again.
There is still a part that needs to be replaced, and the water tower needs time to build back up after running low. For that reason, we are asking everyone to keep conserving water for the rest of this weekend.
What helps most right now: hold off on lawn watering and car washing, skip filling pools, run laundry and dishwashers only when full, and keep showers short. Small changes across a lot of households add up quickly.
Chi-miigwech to our Water Department who pulled an all-nighter to keep water flowing to our homes. And miigwech to everyone who cut back yesterday, it made a real difference.
