Water Treatment Plant Planned Shutdown on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

On Wednesday, December 20, 2023, the main pumps at the water treatment plant will be shut down from approximately 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM to allow for the installation of a new manifold in preparation for the installation of a new pump as part of the KCWD#1 Phase 1 Capital Project.  The reservoir will be filled to maximum before the pumps are turned off, and the District will be running on the stored reservoir water until the pumps are turned back on after installation is complete.

This shutdown timing is planned around a typically low use period of the day, but the District is asking that all Patrons restrict their water use from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Wednesday, December 20th, to minimize the depletion of the reservoir.

The work may be completed earlier than expected, and if so, the blog will be updated on Wednesday.  Please monitor the blog for status updates and additional information.

As not all Patrons are subscribed to the blog, please let your neighbors know about this planned shutdown.  Thank you.
