Residents of Bismarck, the City of Lincoln and customers of the South Central Regional Water District served by the City of Bismarck are asked to refrain from using water for anything but essential purposes until further notice.
Treatment problems at the Bismarck water treatment plant are in the process of being resolved and the plant is producing water at limited capacity. Reservoir levels are currently low and the requested reductions in water use will allow the reservoirs to refill. Customers may experience low water pressure until the reservoirs and towers can be refilled to their normal levels.
The public will be notified when normal operations are restored.
With the recent rain events watering of lawns and gardens should not be necessary. If you have an irrigation system that is set on an automatic schedule we request that you cancel the scheduled irrigation. This will help greatly in conserving water.
The City would like to thank its customers for their cooperation and patience while this problem is being resolved.
