January was a month to remember, certainly. We have been on well water since December and thanks to you, our members, and your conservation efforts, and additionally, due to the fact that there isn’t a lot of watering to be done since everything is covered in snow or ice, our production remains stable and consistent.
Keep up the good work and thank you!
Due to the recent storm runoff we’ve had to switch from surface water to well water.
It’s likely we’ll need to stay on well water for the entirety of this storm, and beyond, so please conserve where you can.
We appreciate your assistance!
Due to the storm runoff, MWC is unable to treat surface water. The image above is of our collection gallery and was taken this past Sunday.
We will be running off of our two (2) wells for the foreseeable future.
We know there is water everywhere, but as you can see if you look at our creeks and rivers, the water is not fit to drink (or even to treat to attempt to make it drinkable).
In addition, our raw water intake is blocked and will require maintenance once the creek drops.
Members have been doing an amazing job conserving water and we ask that you continue to do so.
