Water System Update
6/12/2026
The No Water Use Order has been OFFICIALLY LIFTED.
Laboratory testing has confirmed that the City of Emerado water system is safe, and residents may now resume NORMAL water use for all purposes, including drinking, cooking, bathing, laundry, and other household activities.
Residents may notice some discoloration in their water as normal use resumes and the system continues to clear. While the water may appear off-color, laboratory testing has confirmed that the water is SAFE for use and consumption.
Bottled water remains available at the Emerado Fire Department for anyone who still needs or would like it.
We extend our sincere thanks to our residents for their patience, understanding, and cooperation throughout this challenging situation. We also thank the crews, contractors, volunteers, and agency partners who worked tirelessly to repair the system, complete the required testing, and restore normal service.
Thank you, Emerado, for pulling together and supporting one another through this event.
The No Water Use Order has been lifted.
Normal water use may resume immediately.
Water is safe for drinking and household use.
Bottled water remains available at the Fire Department.
