Water Emergency remains in effect in Auburn and Peru

(KLZA)-- The Auburn Board of Public Works water wells remain below normal levels but are rising steadily.

As of Monday, four wells were below the 5-foot pumping level and the water emergency remains in effect until further notice for Auburn and Peru water customers.

The BPW asks that conservation efforts continue.

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.

Current protocols being observed include: A ban on outdoor water use. The car wash is shut down. Lawn and Irrigation watering is banned and waste of water is prohibited.

Water / Wastewater Manager Alan Slater noted in his latest report that the BPW appreciates the community support and is committed to maintaining the most efficient use of resources available.
