continues to operate at full capacity during this ongoing extreme rain event, rain and flood waters being introduced to our County’s wastewater collection system is causing significantly larger flows at our three wastewater plants.
No Anti-Bac or bottled water on the shelves? Don't stress - our water remains safe to drink and when paired with soap, it's one of the best ways to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. For info:
Make sure to shut the faucet off when washing your hands. An older faucet wastes .75 gallons each time you wash your hands for the CDC recommended 20 seconds. That adds up to a lot of wasted water. For additional water conservation tips, go to

Opening manhole covers can temporarily alleviate flooding but it introduces additional water to the sewer system & can cause overflows. We don’t want flooding getting into the wastewater system, & we don’t want wastewater getting into our streets, so please keep manholes closed.
