NOTICE TO HARBOR WATER CUSTOMERS – ELEVATED SALINITY
Harbor Water is currently experiencing elevated salinity in our source water due to the consistent high tides and seasonal low river levels. The current conductivity reading is approximately 1,258 µS/cm (microsiemens per centimeter), which is higher than our normal seasonal levels.
The water remains SAFE, clean, and suitable to drink. Our water continues to be monitored and tested for the same drinking-water contaminants as required throughout the year. The current change is related to an increase in salt content from seasonal tidal influence, not an increase in other contaminants.
Customers may notice a stronger salty taste while these conditions continue.
For customers who prefer an alternative drinking-water source during this period, the Harbor Water truck will be available later today. Customers who have a medical condition requiring strict sodium or salt restrictions are encouraged to use bottled water or another low-sodium drinking-water source for consumption while salinity levels remain elevated. Harbor Water will continue monitoring salinity levels as tides and river conditions change and will keep customers informed of any significant updates.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Water Truck Use Guidelines:
Monday - Thursday (8am - 4pm)
Water provided from the Harbor Water truck is for Harbor Water customers only. We kindly ask all customers to be considerate of their neighbors and other community members when filling containers so that this resource remains available to everyone who needs it.
Please note that this water is intended for drinking and other consumption purposes only. It should not be used for watering plants, washing dishes, or other non-essential uses.
For the health and safety of all customers, do not use dirty, previously contaminated, or unsanitary buckets, bottles, jugs, or other containers when collecting water from the truck.
A simple rule to follow is: If you would not feel comfortable drinking directly from the container, please do not use it to collect water from the water truck.
Thank you for helping us keep this service safe, sanitary, and available for the entire Harbor Water community.
