11:00am Update: The City is actively working with our contracted water supplier RCH Water in alleviating the low water pressure issue.

Starting immediately, RCH and the City are asking all businesses and residents to completely stop all outdoor irrigation/sprinkler system watering. This action will help relieve the demand on the overall water system. This short term, water conservation effort will greatly assist in the duration of this problem.

Thank you for your patience and we appreciate your understanding and conservation efforts in the resolution of this issue.

Please check back on a regular basis as updates will follow as we receive them.
