Midland Urges Continued Water Conservation Amid Repairs

The City of Midland is currently facing a water supply crisis due to a valve failure along Highway 158, which has affected water pressure and led to limited backup supplies. Mayor Lori Blong reported that crews have been working on repairs and have utilized treated water from T-Bar Ranch to supplement the supply. Residents have been urged to conserve water, particularly by halting outdoor irrigation, as the city works to restore normal water flow. While the situation is improving, the city has asked for continued conservation efforts through Tuesday, with over two million gallons added back into the system. The city's water supply meets safety standards and remains safe for consumption. Officials plan to review the incident once repairs are complete to improve future responses.
