💧 WATER SYSTEM UPDATE

The City of Durant has an important update regarding current water system conditions and the continued steps being taken to help stabilize water pressure throughout our community.

A booster pump has been ordered, and we are asking residents to help by limiting discretionary watering, including sprinkler and lawn irrigation, until after 8 p.m.

This is not a water supply issue. The current concern is the volume of demand on the system, especially during periods of extreme heat and high water usage.

Please take a moment to read the full update below. ⬇️

Thank you for helping us conserve water and support a reliable water system for our community.
