**URGENT WATER CONSERVATION NOTICE**

Due to today's extreme flash flooding, the Bradford City Water Authority has temporarily shut down the water treatment plant.

Your water is SAFE to drink. This is NOT a boil water advisory

We are asking all customers to conserve water use to essential needs only until further notice. Please avoid unnecessary water use to help maintain our water supply. Updates will be provided as conditions change.

Important Reminder Regarding Your Water Meter

If your water meter has been estimating for more than 3 cycles, please contact the Bradford City Water Authority to schedule an appointment to have your water meter inspected and/or replaced.

Bradford City Water Authority
Watershed and Reservoirs

The Bradford City Water Authority has three (3) surface water reservoirs that serve the Bradford Water System. The Marilla and Gilbert Reservoirs are open to public use. Recreational activities such as trail walking/hiking, canoeing/kayaking, and fishing are permitted at our Marilla Reservoir and similar activities exist at our Gilbert Reservoir, with the exception of fishing, which is currently catch-and-release only until the population and fish size are appropriate. (Fires, camping, swimming, littering, ATV’s and any unauthorized vehicles are prohibited throughout the watershed and all reservoirs). 

However, the Heffner Reservoir on West Corydon Street is the primary water source and has always been restricted to public use for the safety of both the reservoir and the public. This includes no fishing. We want to remind everyone that the immediate property at and around the Water Treatment Plant and Heffner Reservoir is posted NO TRESPASSING.

Please observe these rules for your safety and the safety of our primary drinking water source.

For more information please stop by our offices at 28 Kennedy Street.

Thank You,
Bradford City Water Authority Board of Directors
