Crews will relocate an existing fire hydrant from 6-9 a.m. Thursday, June 22, 2023. During this work, the water will be shut off

Affected businesses and organizations include:
• Lakeway Shopping Center, including Organtica Truth or Consequences, Subway, World Finance, Dollar General, Gila National Forest Black Range District Office, Metro by T-Mobile and Truth Smoke Shop & Vape
• Sierra County Government Building
We apologize for the inconvenience. Here are some steps you can take to have water available:
1) Fill tub(s) with water and use the water to refill toilet tanks, wash hands and water pets.
2) Fill containers for drinking and cooking.
Please keep taps closed until the water is back on. We recommend running a kitchen or bathroom faucet for 5-10 minutes after the water is turned back on to get rid of milky water, which indicates there is air in the water, or red or discolored water, which indicates there was debris in the pipeline.
