Starting Monday, 3/30/2020, water services will be installed on Willow Lane. Service replacements will require the water to be shut off to individual residences for 30 to 60 minutes. A member of the crew will knock on the door and inform residents prior to shutting off the water. Notices have been delivered to residents who will have their service replaced this week.
