IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE CITY OF COFFEYVILLE

The City of Coffeyville drinking water, while safe to drink, is at a critical level and people must limit their consumption to essential use only. The water levels are at the 5.0 foot level. When the 4 foot level is reached, the water will be at risk of contamination and citizens will be forced to boil water. The Water Department installed a temporary pump Sunday night to produce some water, however, it is not enough to meet the demand. Additional temporary pumps will be installed Monday night, and it is anticipated the City will begin producing enough water on Tuesday to meet the demand. It is critical for our citizens to limit their water usage.
