Boil order lifted, see rawlinswy.org/water for tips to flush home and business water systems; Limited water use through at least Friday
Limited water use continues for the communities of Rawlins and Sinclair. Limited water use was first approved by Rawlins Public Works Sunday afternoon, and the tanks have continued to gain throughout the last two days. Monday evening our tanks were at 30% of storage capacity, and as of early Tuesday afternoon our tanks are now at 38%. Please plan on remaining on limited water use through at least Friday 3/11/22.
Limited water use:
- Following, “Steps To Follow After Boil Water Advisory Has Ended”
- Normal flushing
- Short showers as necessary
- Maximum 1 load of laundry per day per family, only necessary items
- Washing dishes
- If you cannot keep pipes warm, leave a slow water drip during freezing events. Burst pipes often waste more water.
Most excitingly, our boil water advisory has been lifted by the State of Wyoming EPA! However, before using any water, please make sure to check out our tips regarding necessary flushing of systems, cleaning of filters, and more at www.rawlinswy.org/water. These documents are also available in printed versions at Rawlins City Hall, the Carbon Building, Sinclair Town Hall, Carbon County Library, Rawlins Public Works, City Market, Family Dollar, and Walmart. All restaurants must receive approval from the Wyoming Department of Agriculture to reopen.
