The following alert was sent to Trinidad residents earlier today:

A water conservation alert has been issued on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, due to a failed water pipe discovered and repaired this morning at the Water Treatment Plant. Due to limited storage capacity, PLEASE conserve use of potable water until further notice. The City’s water system is operating with only one of its two water storage tanks in service.

Power outages and storm-related issues over the last 24-hours have challenged the City’s ability to gain adequate capacity in the remaining tank. Water Department staff has currently stabilized production, but warns it could take several days to replenish the tank under extreme flow conditions that the Luffenholtz Creek watershed is experiencing. Additional updates will be provided on the City’s website as the storm passes and adequate storage capacity is achieved.
