5/19/2011 -
Some Union Residents May Experience Low Water Pressure
Due to the interior painting of the elevated
water storage tank, located behind the Union Fire Department location on West
Springfield, citizens in the higher elevation of west Union can expect a
fluctuation in water pressure for the next 30 days. This is due to lack of
storage in the water system as the tank was drained for painting. We
appreciate your patience during this time and if you have further questions or
concerns please contact City Hall at 636-583-3600. |
