The Boil Water Advisory for the Scott Lake water system is lifted effective immediately and normal consumption can resume. Lab results were just returned confirming that the sample passed allowing the advisory to be lifted.

We thank you for your continued understanding and cooperation when we respond to emergency situations with the water system and address system breaks that occur outside of planned and scheduled maintenance.

All work being done to the system is vital for continued operations, and the health and safety of our residents is of the utmost importance.

Emergency repairs are now complete at both Champion Drive and 119th Court.

The water system is charging and users will see water service being restored. Residents may experience low water pressure as the system refills and many people begin drawing from the system simultaneously.

It is common following maintenance for some households to experience discolored water. We recommend that residents run an outside hose for 10-20 minutes.

BOIL WATER ADVISORY ACTIVE

A precautionary Boil Water Advisory is now in effect and will remain in effect until lab results are returned confirming that the water is safe for consumption. During the Boil Water Advisory it is recommended that bottled or boiled water be used for consumption, brushing teeth, preparing food, and making ice. Tap water can still be used for washing laundry and bathing.

Notice will be provided on the Scott Lake Maintenance Facebook page and the Scott Lake website once lab results are returned. Users who have opted into the auto-dial notifications will receive direct notification once the Boil Water Advisory is lifted.

This is a system wide emergency shutdown impacting all users of the Scott Lake water system.

There is a break on Champion Drive and a break on 119th Court. Crews will be working throughout the evening in both locations.

Some users may continue to receive water service for a short period of time during the shutdown. Please use water conservatively. Continued usage will drain any remaining stored water supply.

A Boil Water Advisory will be in effect once water service is restored, and will remain in effect until lab results are returned confirming that the advisory can be lifted.

Updates will be provided on the @ScottLakeMaintenance Facebook page and Scott Lake website www.scottlake.net

The repairs for the leak on Champion Drive will be completed today. We will be attempting to make a live repair so that we do not have to shut down the entire system.

A portion of Champion Drive will be closed and traffic should detour through Fairway Drive to reach 123rd.

Updates will be posted on the Scott Lake Facebook page and on the Scott Lake website at www.scottlake.net
