(Avoca) Regional Water notified its customers on Monday, October 20th that Tower 7 in Audubon County is back online and serving customers in Audubon, Cass, and southeast Shelby Counties. Booster Station 4 is still operating under a temporary fix, causing the Level RED water restrictions to remain in place until the permanent fix can be completed.
“We are waiting on a part to be delivered before we can go in and complete the permanent repair,” said General Manager Tom Kallman.
Regional Water staff implemented a temporary fix to the damaged booster station on October 14th, and water has been flowing throughout the entire week. Since the booster station was temporarily fixed, the Level RED water restriction will continue until Regional Water can take Booster 4 offline to replace the damaged equipment and wiring.
This message has been updated on the Regional Water website, social media, and sent through the text notification system.
The “Level RED” restrictions only affect the eastern part of the Avoca Treatment Plant System, which includes members and rural customers of the Association in eastern Shelby County, as well as all customers in Audubon and Cass Counties. Included are the communities of Exira, and Brayton.
