Dauphin County Emergency Management Agency is asking Veolia water customers to restrict their water use as much as possible.
Dauphin County Emergency Management Agency is asking Veolia water customers to restrict their water use as much as possible, as recent heavy rain has stirred up sediment that has clogged the water treatment plant.“I mean, we’re OK cooperating. It’s just - my only issue would be it would be nice to have known and now that I know, I’m glad to be aware," said“There was no explanation for it.
By restricting those activities, the County will be able to preserve the remaining supplies of treated water for drinking, sanitation, and healthcare. “Right now, the plant is producing water and we do have water in reserve, not enough that we can sleep through the night comfortably. We need to keep working to clear out the mud and the silt from the river that is clogging the filters," said Adam Lisberg, a Veolia Water spokesperson.
“I’m happy to conserve water, just as long as we know that it’s gonna be – how long we’re gonna have to do this for. If they’re gonna have this for a couple of hours, couple of days," said Ocko.It comes on the heels of a recent issue with PA American Water in Cumberland County, where hundreds of thousands were without water service over the weekend, and a boil water advisory was in place for days.
