I hope you aren’t expecting customers to pay their full water bills from the time you opened those gates at Mansfield until the process is complete of making sure we have safe, potable tap water.

Hi Luke, we have been able to supply water to our service area. Water intended for consumption needs to be boiled. Given the variables (weather, usage) we're not able to make a definitive determination on an end but are counting on our customers to limit water use to basic needs.
