Carson City cancels planned water service interruption due to weather conditions
UPDATE: Due to severe weather conditions, this service interruption will not take place on Sunday, February 26, 2023. We anticipate rescheduling for mid-March, depending on the weather.
***
Carson City Public Works is planning maintenance work affecting water service in the Timberline and University Heights areas beginning Sunday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. and extending through Monday, Feb. 27.
The necessary maintenance will result in no water service and/or reduced water pressure in the affected areas.
While all precautions will be taken for disinfection during the repair of the affected water mains, this reduction in pressure could result in contamination of drinking water. Residents are advised to boil water prior to consumption for one full minute. Testing of the water will take place following the work.
Residents in the affected areas will be notified when testing is complete, and they are no longer required to boil the water. It is anticipated that testing will take two days.
Visit www.carson.org/wateralert for more information, including a map of the affected area and a complete copy of the Boil Water Notice.
Residents in the affected areas may experience discolored water during the work and after restoration of service. Residents are advised not to wash light colored laundry if their water is discolored.
