Improvements to water system scheduled

For the next six months 314th Civil Engineer Squadron is making improvements to the water system in the housing area. This work will require one or more shutoffs of water to some residences. The contractor will be distributing leaflets to affected homes 24 hours in advance of any shutoff. Any shutoff will not last more than eight hours and will only occur after 8:30 am. Once water is restored to a residence you may find the water to be initially discolored — simply run the water for a few minutes from an outside faucet or your bathtub until the water is clear. If you have any questions please call Dianne Priddy in Civil Engineering Construction Management at 987-7679.
