Known Incident August 10, 2009

Due to inappropriate garden irrigation usage of the potable water line, an excess in demand vs. production resulted in water shortage to the lines that feed Las Olas VillasBrisas and Barqueta Nice.

The potable water line to the Las Olas Villas was temporarily shut to allow for the Barqueta Nice water system to recuperate. Please conserve water.

The civil engineering and electrical conection for the new well is being completed this week and an additional 60 GPM of good quality water should available within the next 14 days.

A large leak was found in the water line in front of a water meter to a home in Barqueta Nice and was repaired. Another leak was located and is being repaired now.
