Re: 24 Hour Notice – Water Shut-Off
This is to inform tenants connected to the Water Treatment Plant and the Willow Cree Healing Lodge that the Water Treatment Plant will be turned off for two nights consecutively beginning:
-Wednesday August 23, 2017- 6:00pm – 7:00am
-Thursday August 24, 2017- 6:00pm – 7:00am
Please take appropriate measures to collect water to last for the duration of the water shut-off.
This step is required to remedy low water levels at the Water Treatment Plant.
Again we ask for the community’s help to continue to conserve water as this situation affects us all.
Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
