Nearly 23,000 customers in the Coatesville, Pennsylvania area are being asked to temporarily reduce their water usage under a mandatory conservation order issued by Pennsylvania American Water.
Residents must limit water use to essential purposes only as the company works to address ongoing treatment challenges at its local facility.
Reason Behind the Order
According to Pennsylvania American Water, recent weather-related changes to local water sources have increased the amount of treatment required at its plant. The added demands are placing additional strain on the company’s filtration systems.
No Timeline Provided
Pennsylvania American Water has not indicated how long the mandatory water conservation order will remain in effect. Customers in the affected area are urged to conserve water until further notice.
