Attention Residents: Unplanned Water Pipe Break

There is a water repair happening today for 3 hours and should be finished by 1pm. The affected residents are on 114th Way only, approx. 17 homes. They will experience a water shutdown during this time. We’re not aware of any required water boil notice. We’re waiting to hear from the repair technicians to determine if a boil notice is required. Please stay tuned for another message regarding the boil notice. We’ll let you know either way.

Daylight Savings Time!

Tomorrow at 2am, we turn our clocks forward 1 hour. If you’re one of those proactive types, do this before bedtime tonight.


Some technology will automatically take care of this, such as your phones, tablets and computers, but the appliance clocks and wall clocks and watches might need a manual adjustment.
