Elloree Water Services

Public Notice:
Water Tank Maintenance & System Advisory

Effective Date: December 1, 2025

Estimated Duration: Approximately 3 months

Beginning December 1, 2025, the Town’s water tank will be taken offline for scheduled repairs and upgrades as part of our rehabilitation grant project. During this time, the tank will remain out of service for approximately three (3) months.

We will have contingency systems in place to maintain service; however, residents are urged to report any leaks or sudden drops in water pressure immediately. Without the tank online, even small leaks can cause significant water loss throughout the system.

If you notice a possible issue during this period, please contact the Town immediately so we can respond promptly and prevent further impact.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we complete these important improvements to our community’s water system.
