Mayor Wess Ward announced as of January 3 the "Boil Water" advisory has been lifted.  In an interview on January 9, Mayor Ward was asked if the pipes are all under control, and he gave a positive response.  Great job, Mayor!  You and your men have our consolidated thank you!

Water is back on, but still need to boil drinking water in Whiteoak, Beech View and Cedar Creek areas.

Effective immediately until further notice (as of 10:00 am on December 28) EVERYONE is on a "conserve water notice." If you do not have to use water, please do not. 

The Linden Water Department has experienced a significant loss of water pressure in the Cedar Creek, Whiteoak, Beechview, Mayberry Prong, Lego School Rd, & Peters Landing areas due to customer leaks draining the system. As a precautionary measure we are asking customers (specific roads or boundary roads) to boil water before using for consumption. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this problem.

** WATER REPORT UPDATE **
At this time, ALL pumps are operating at maximum capacity so pressure should start slowly building back. It may take longer the further out you live, but give it a few hours and hopefully most will see improvements. Please let me know when you do get water so we can keep up with any further issues!
