• • • Culinary Repair/Shut off Notice

      We have had an issue on a line coming off of one of the main transmission lines leading from the Monson Tank. We have been working to find alternate solutions over the past three to four weeks to find the best way to isolate the area of the repair. We have been unsuccessful in isolating this area largely due to a limited number of valves and likely some very old buried connections and/or valves that we cannot locate. As this has dragged on for so long, we have decided that the best option to take care of this repair issue would be to shut down a large portion of town which is fed by the tank. In order to lessen the impact we have decided to do this as a nighttime repair from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. beginning on Tuesday, August 13^th. Please refer to this map to see if you reside in the affected area. Thank you for your cooperation.

      Manila Pond Advisory

      We started receiving complaints yesterday from swimmers at the Manila Creek Pond who have experienced rashes and itching. After contacting the County Health Department, we have determined there is a possibility of Swimmer’s Itch present in the pond.

      The County Health Department stated that a few ponds and lakes in the county are starting to report Swimmer’s Itch.

      Swimmer’s Itch is caused from ducks and snails present in the pond. It is an allergic reaction that not everyone will have. It is similar to hay fever where not everyone is allergic.

      We will have a sign posted at the pond as an advisory.

      There are plans in the works to safely remove the ducks in the fall in an effort to remedy the situation in the future.
