Public Notice – Water Tower Maintenance and Voluntary Water Conservation Concluded

Today, June 16, the water tower maintenance project has concluded and the water tower located on North 6th Street is back in full operation.  In addition, the voluntary water conservation has ended. 
 
The City of Mascoutah began the Interior Protective Coating Restoration for the Elevated Water Storage Reservoir (aka water tower) located on North 6th Street in February, painting was concluded at the beginning of May, and the paint has been curing until this time.  In order for this project to take place the water tower was switched off and completely drained.  The water pressure regulation was switched from the water tower to the pump house while the work was being done on the water tower.  During this time, residents may have experienced pressure fluctuations and periods of low pressure and a voluntary water conservation was put in place to aid in preventing low water pressure issues.
 
The City would like to thank the residents for their patience and assistance the past few months during this project.  Please contact City Hall at (618) 566-2964 with any questions or concerns.
