Map of the area affected by a water service cut scheduled Sunday, Feb. 26, according to Carson City.
UPDATE: Due to severe weather conditions, the service interruption below will not take place on Sunday, Feb. 26. It will be rescheduled for mid-March, depending on weather.
Carson City Public Works is planning maintenance work affecting water service in the Timberline and University Heights areas starting Sunday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m., and continuing into the following day, according to a new release.
The maintenance will result in no water service and/or reduced water pressure.
While all precautions will be taken for disinfection during the repair of the affected water mains, this reduction in pressure could result in contamination of drinking water, the release said. Residents are advised to boil water prior to consumption for one full minute. Testing of the water will take place following the work. Residents will be notified when testing is complete, and they are no longer required to boil the water. It is anticipated that testing will take two days.
Visit www.carson.org/wateralert for information, including a map of the affected area and a complete copy of the boil water notice.
Residents in the affected areas may experience discolored water during the work and after restoration of service. Residents are advised not to wash light colored laundry if their water is discolored.
