Scheduled Water Tower Maintenance: June 2020

The Village of Mechanicsburg will be conducting regular preventative maintenance on our water tower beginning June 1, 2020.  This maintenance is to preserve the exterior coating of the tower and cleaning and coating the inside of the tank.  It will require the Village to drain the tower while the maintenance is being done.  This is to prevent condensation on the exterior, cleaning and painting the interior, and will be dependent on weather and temperature variances.  The actual work under ideal conditions would require about 5-7 days to complete for both the inside and outside.  However we are scheduling up to 4-5 weeks to complete the work. We will bring in a temporary tank for water storage.   

Due to the size of the temporary tank we are requiring Mandatory Water Conservation while the main storage tank is offline.   

The following water uses are considered nonessential and are prohibited during this emergency. 
Prohibited Water Uses: 

• Watering Lawns, landscaped areas, trees, shrubs and outdoor plants 
• Washing paved surfaces, such as streets, sidewalks, driveways, garages, parking areas and patios. 
• Washing vehicles. 
• Filling and topping off swimming pools. 

We ask for your cooperation while we maintain our valuable assets.  For updates and schedule of the Mandatory Water Conservation, please check back on the Announcements page of   mechanicsburgvillage.com or call 937-834-3187.
