It looks like Hemlock Valley will be suffering not only poor snow conditions this weekend (January 14th to 16th, 2022), but we can expect poor water service as well.
Included is an emailed notification sent shortly before 9am January 14th, 2022 from Shelley Hughes with Hemlock Valley Utilities regarding the latest development:
What it says…
“Hello, There is a possible break in the high pressure main. We are doing what we can but there is going to be low or no water. The areas that will be affect most are at the top of Sakwi, Edelweiss and Snowflake till further notice or at least until after the weekend. This is dependent on the availability of parts and issues found. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this issue.
