 PREVIOUS PROJECTS 

TIMBERLINE / UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS PRV REPLACEMENT PROJECT - MONDAY, MARCH 20, 2023

Out with the old and in with the new!

The weather cooperated and the Public Works' Water Division was able to complete the replacement of a critical pressure reducing valve in the Timberline / University Heights area. The work was completed Sunday night in an effort to minimize the impact on our customers in the surrounding area. 

      

 

         

The precautionary boil water notice has been lifted for this area.  All water use can return to normal. 

SUNDAY, MARCH 19, 2023

The Carson City Water System is planning a reduction in pressure in the Timberline and University Heights areas, to perform necessary system maintenance and upgrades. This work will take place starting  March 19, 2023 starting at 8:00 PM.

Residents in the affected areas may experience lower water pressure and/or no water service.  While all precautions will be taken for disinfection during the repair of the affected water mains, this reduction in pressure could result in contamination of drinking water. Residents are advised to boil water prior to consumption for one full minute.  Testing of the water will take place following the work. Residents in the affected areas will be notified when testing is complete, and they are no longer required to boil the water.  It is anticipated that testing will take two days. 

Residents in the affected areas may experience discolored water during the work and after restoration of service.  Residents are advised not to wash light colored laundry if their water is discolored.

Residents in the affected areas are advised to follow the instructions in the Precautionary Boil Water Notice.

A map of the affected areas may be found here.
