URGENT NOTICE…….

Boil Alert – Use Water Sparingly – No Sprinkler Usage Until Further Notice

CITY WELL WAS OUT OF SERVICE. The City of Ione’s well was reported out of service at 1:00 am this morning. Shad Hass, Director, Public Works Department, Adam Wight from Wight’s Electric and John Ferguison from Lexington Pump  worked urgently to diagnosis the issue and restore water service at 4:00 am this morning.   

PLEASE USE WATER SPARINGLY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.  The City asks that residents and businesses use water sparingly as the reservoir refills to normal levels.

LOW WATER LEVEL IN RESERVOIR AND BOIL ALERTS.  Unfortunately, the reservoir fell to low levels. When water levels drop this low, systems often lose pressure, allowing contaminants to enter the pipes which triggers an immediate  Boil Water Alert.

NOTIFICATION WHEN BOIL ALERT IS RESCINDED. When the Boil Water Alert is cancelled a notice will be placed on the City Website.  cityofioneoregon.gov

For Further Information, please call City Hall at 541-422-7414 or 541-561-8116.
