Pearl River Valley Water Supply District (PRVWSD) will turn off water service in the Twin Harbor neighborhood on Wednesday, October 21, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Crews plan to carry out scheduled maintenance and repairs during this time.
Homes and businesses in Twin Harbor, located along the western shoreline of the reservoir, will not have water during the outage.
Crucial Actions for the Water Outage
Because the water system will experience a complete drop in pressure, you should prepare for the outage and look out for specific official alerts:
- Boil-Water Notice: No boil-water notice is planned at this time. However, one should be anticipated. If this happens, expect to boil your water for at least 1 to 2 days following the repair until lab samples clear.
- Water Discoloration / Line Flushing: Once the water is turned back on at 1:00 PM, lines may have trapped air or sediment. To remain safe, run your cold water taps for 1–2 minutes until the stream runs completely clear before using appliances like washing machines or dishwashers.
- What to do now: Store enough water tonight for drinking, cooking, and basic sanitation to cover the 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM maintenance window tomorrow.
