We are hooked to rural water for 3 weeks

If you notice your water pressure is a little lower than normal, that is because the city is hooked to rural water while our water tower is being painted. They are currently doing the inside of the bowl. They still need it empty when they paint the outside, so the tank doesn't sweat. The painting, and our hookup to rural water will take about 3 weeks.

We have an emergency hookup to rural water which is nice. This isn't an emergency, but the hook up allows us to take our time in getting the tower painted. We use Central Iowa Rural Water out of Newton. The water tower that we are using now is the one in McCallsburg.

So the city just buys the water at bulk from Central Iowa Rural Water, they bill the city, and the city pays them. Then the city reads meters as normal, and bills everybody normally, so homeowners will not need to do anything different. Our bulk rate is pretty good, so no extra surcharge or anything like that is necessary.
