(Exira) The Exira Boil Advisory has been lifted. The advisory was implemented due to an issue with the water main Project. The following locations were affected: north of Kilworth Street, Harrison Street from Carthage to Kilworth, and Church Street to Kilworth to Cottage Street. The advisory for these areas is no longer in effect.
However, Regional Water announced this week that it has implemented the “Level RED” Advisory for the customers and communities on the eastern part of the ATP system. They were notified this week by the Nishnabotna Valley REC that an accident occurred east of Shelby County, resulting in a power surge.
Residents are asked to conserve water. Level RED is the highest level of mandatory water use restrictions under its Emergency Water Conservation Plan.
General Manager Tom Kallman stated, “This Level RED advisory is not connected to the Boil Advisory already in place in Exira. We can prevent a boil advisory from being necessary if we conserve water immediately. The Level RED restrictions only affect the eastern part of the Avoca Treatment Plant System, which includes members and customers of the Association in eastern Shelby, Audubon, and Cass Counties. Included are the communities of Kirkman, Elk Horn, Exira, and Brayton.
