Auburn BPW continues to monitor water levels
10/30/2024

(KLZA)-- The Auburn Board of Public Works is working diligently to make sure water levels remain stable.

Data is provided daily with the readings on the number of gallons pumped, pumping times, and reservoir levels. This will help keep the public informed of current conditions.

You can go to the City of Auburn website at auburn.ne.gov for updates.

Data shows two wells that pumping levels dropped slightly over the weekend. The BPW thanks the community for working to reduce water usage. Four wells are still dangerously low. Loss of these wells will most certainly cause a situation where trucking water from outside resources will be needed to support the needs of Auburn and Peru communities. Community-wide efforts are effective, and your assistance is appreciated.

Auburn BPW water customers are asked to please report misuse of water to the Board of Public Works.

The latest release of information from the BPW reports that an Auburn car wash is trucking water in from outside resources and utilizing a recycle tank in order to resume business operations.

If you have questions, please contact the BPW and they will be happy to provide you with statistics of rainfall, well levels and daily monitoring of the water pumped.

All systems are actively monitored, and data is kept on file permanently. The reservoir holds 1.5 million gallons of water and has not dropped below the normal levels. This is due to the implementation of the plan and the collaboration of the members of the Auburn and Peru communities’ reduction in use.
