FPB asking customers to conserve water

/

The water levels at the FPB Water Treatment Plant have risen to a level that can impact the electrical equipment used to pump water from the river. FPB has turned the equipment off at this time. We are asking all customers to ration their water usage and limit to only essential usage. The water storage tanks are currently full and with your help to conserve water usage, the existing water stored can serve our community longer. At this time, turning the equipment back on will be dependent upon how high the river crests. As soon as we can safely turn the equipment back on, we will immediately send out the notification. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
