UPDATE: The Conserve Water Notice has been lifted: https://www.cityofeastlansing.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1818.

 Conserve Water Notice for East Lansing, Meridian Township Water System Customers 

A conserve water notice has been issued for East Lansing-Meridian Water & Sewer Authority (ELMWSA) customers. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WATER IS STILL SAFE TO USE/DRINK, ELMWSA IS JUST ASKING FOR IT TO BE CONSERVED AT THIS TIME.

ELMWSA customers include anyone who receives a water bill from the City of East Lansing or Meridian Township. Until further notice, ELMWSA is urging customers to:   

1. NOT take baths at this time2. Limit showers (in frequency and duration) to the greatest extent possible3. Wait to do laundry and dishes4. Refrain from all other high uses of water

One of the main transmission water lines at the ELMWSA plant was damaged on Tuesday, Jan. 10, which caused ELMWSA to not be able to treat water for the residents of the City of East Lansing and Meridian Township. 

Safe drinking water is being supplied by Lansing Board of Water & Light. This water supply is already running through the system. Customers do NOT need to go elsewhere to pick up water. 

ELMWSA is working to repair the broken water main; however, while this repair occurs, there is limited water supply. In order to avoid pressure loss in the system, it is important for ELMWSA customers to conserve water until further notice. ELMWSA hopes to lift the notice to conserve water within 24-48 hours.
