Carlsbad Municipal Water District will be doing testing on their system on Monday August 25, 2009. So they want everyone to know that there may be some water pressure issues during their tests.
During the testing, water customers might notice a slight decrease in water pressure. Testing in each location will only last about five minutes. Tap water where testing is being done might temporarily look a little cloudy as well. . . During the testing water district staff will use the minimum amount of water necessary to gather the required information. Water released from pipes and hydrants will be dechlorinated and discharged into the nearest storm drain, in compliance with state and federal environmental regulations.
Looks like we’ll be sticking to our Arrowhead Mountain Spring water for a couple days. For questions or more information, please call 760-438-7100.
