A “Do Not Drink” order remains in effect in the Topaz Ranch Estates General Improvement District after a water line break and a well pump failure on July 8.

Currently the TRE GID is making repairs to one well and discontinued use of another well, which may have been a possible contamination source into the water system.

Results from a new set of tests taken today will not be known until Tuesday afternoon.

The TRE GID has contracted for a private potable water truck to make potable water service available to the community as of 6pm Monday. The truck will be available at the Topaz Ranch Estates Community Center,  3939 Carter Dr., Wellington, Nev. Homeowners will need to provide containers to fill water from the truck.

This order is in effect for water used for potential human consumption, such as drinking, cooking or brushing teeth. Other water uses, such as bathing, washing vehicles, or watering of residential lawns/plants, may continue as normal.
