Details from the source
Updated 7/30/2026 - the BWN for the watering point is lifted. The remainder of the system, including both distribution loops, remains on the BWN. On 2/18/25 Amber self-issued a BWN due to the well transmission line freezing up. To prevent further system freeze up, raw water from the river was piped into the water storage tank and pumped into the distribution. BWN will remain in effect until the transmission line is thawed and clean TCR samples are received-gek 2/19/26
