(Avoca, Iowa) – Officials with the Regional Water Rural Water System, Wednesday evening, updated on social media, the status of their system and water conservation requirements.

RWRWA said:

• All towers have maintained adequate pressure over the last few weeks, but their customers remain in at a level RED Conservation level. That includes ALL rural customers and communities fed by RWRWA’s Avoca Treatment Plant (Avoca, Brayton, Exira, Earling, Panama, Portsmouth, Persia, Westphalia, Kirkman, & Tennant).
• The company is currently pumping 760 gpm from the plant with all wells on, including their backup wells.
• The temporary pump station was turned on, but there were pressure issues. The rural water company’s engineers, they said, “sent their two best guys to help determine the reason for the pressure problem with the pipeline from Council Bluffs. They have figured out the problem and the solution,” and they were working on getting the necessary parts. Adjustments will allow the water to flow as soon as possible.

The company reminds its customers and communities, that they can access the system dashboard on the RWRWA website and various websites of the county and municipal government entities within the Regional Water service areas.
