In order to maintain system reliability and efficiency, the Authority will continue to proceed with scheduled critical construction projects. We understand that during the current COVID-19 crisis, access to safe water is important. Our construction crews are mindful of impacts to water service, and will work to minimize necessary interruptions whenever possible.
When the Authority does need to conduct a temporary non-emergency water shutoff, impacted customers will receive notification at least 48 hours in advance, which will include information on alternative access to water.
