MERCERSBURG WATER SYSTEM UPDATE

Due to a recent equipment failure and low well water levels, the Water Authority is continuing to haul water to ensure our system is able to deliver water to its customers. This water is sourced from a fluoridated supply.

We have seen an overall reduction in water usage and sincerely thank residents and businesses for conserving water during this crisis. Please continue to limit non-essential water use until further notice.
