"Could you limit your showers to five minutes? Could you not fill your pool right now? Could you if you're going to use your dishwasher or washing machine, could you make sure they're full loads? Because we turned off water to the main transmission line - we are now using our only and primary back up water source which is our reservoir, which is Lake Hermon,"
"The City of Benicia says necessary parts are expected to arrive Friday morning to fix the damaged water transmission line. Crews plan to work through the weekend. During this time, residents are being asked to cut back on their water usage by 40%. Officials say the Lake Herman water may have an earthy taste or smell, but it is safe to drink. Another update on repairs is expected next week."
Necessary parts are expected to arrive Friday morning to repair a damaged Benicia water transmission line. Crews will work through the weekend to complete repairs. Residents are being asked to reduce water usage by 40% during the repair period. Officials requested limiting showers to five minutes, avoiding filling pools, and running dishwashers and washing machines only with full loads. The main transmission line has been shut off; the city is using its primary backup source, Lake Hermon reservoir. Lake Hermon water may have an earthy taste or smell but is safe to drink. Another repair update is expected next week.
