Notice to All Water Customers and Plumbing Contractors:

The City of Girard has started a new water project funded by a KDHE loan that will provide new water storage towers for the city and provide for the removal of the old ones.  New electronically read water meters will allow for more accurately read meters as well as real-time information on water leaks and water usage in the future.

One concern that the city wants everyone to be aware of is when the new towers come on-line we expect the water pressure to be better than before and in that regard, some older lines, both public and private, may develop leaks.  Everyone, as in the past, should check occasionally for leaky pipes and faucets and continue to monitor after the new towers are built and in operation.  The expected time frame for the new towers is approximately June or July of 2015.
