Water Shut Off for Emergency Repair

Water service to the entire community will be shut-off at 9:30 a.m. on Friday (May 24) to repair a part that failed. Although it is not expected to take more than a couple of hours, the water could be off until 1:00 p.m. Apologies for no earlier warning. I just saw the email from our property manager.

From an email our property manager sent:

During April - May time period each year the community's backflow prevention devices are tested to ensure they are working properly. The backflow device keeps water from being syphoned back into the county water system when the water main pressure drops. Drops in pressure can be caused for numerous reasons. The backflow on the community's water main failed its normal annual tests last week. The failed test shows a part inside the backflow may be broken or just worn from normal wear and tear. The extent of the repairs will not be known until the main is disassembled.
