Reno water distributions to continue next month

From staff reports

As the “do not consume” water advisory in Reno hits six weeks, water distributions in the village will continue next month.

The distributions will remain from 5 to 7 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at the Reno fire hall, but there will be no distribution this Monday because of the Labor Day holiday.

Because of the pause for the holiday, Reno Neighborhood Association leader Jessica Struthers is advising residents to pick up extra water during Friday’s distribution.

It was back on July 20 when a discharge from a brine storage tank was identified, prompting Venango Water Co. to issue the “do not consume” water advisory to its more than 200 residential and business customers.

Work is continuing on several fronts by several agencies in the ongoing effort to restore service and investigate the issues that led to the disruption.
