Jefferson City is currently experiencing “low water tank levels” that have resulted in low/no pressure in the city and for its wholesale customers.

Workers in the city’s Utilities Division believe to have narrowed down the cause as being a faulty filtration membrane at the water treatment plant and it appears that the resolution is “not expected to be a quick fix while we wait on replacement membranes or find a way to repair our current ones.”

“We have also taken steps to communicate with our wholesale buyers, Shady Grove Utility District and New Market Utilities District, to minimize their flow from our tanks while we take steps to recover,” a statement from the city said. “Extreme weather has exacerbated the situation. We do ask our customers, and those supplied by our wholesalers, to please conserve water where possible.”

The city has contacted its vendor and requested expedited delivery for needed parts.

“We do apologize for the inconvenience, and we thank you for your understanding as we try to figure out how best to remedy this situation in the short-term while working towards a long-term solution.”
