Providing Safe Water to Our Community


The First District Water Department has been monitoring the current Covid-19 pandemic and is coordinating closely with local, state, and federal authorities to stay safe and to ensure continuity of water service to our community. We are deeply committed to the safety of our customers.


The water from the First District Water Department is safe.


The coronavirus has no impact on the quality or supply of your tap water. The District uses advanced treatment processes to eliminate pathogens, which includes viruses. As always, your tap water is both available, plentiful and safe. While it’s always advisable to stock bottled water at home in case of emergencies that disrupt the water supply, The District does not expect this health outbreak to disrupt service to our customers.


If you have any questions or concerns, you may email us at info@firstdistrictwaterdepartment.com.
