During this time of social distancing and self quarantine one thing still stands true, WATER still flows!
Residents need to know they will still see Inframark trucks and field personnel performing their daily tasks that are part of maintaining the collection and distribution systems.
The appropriate personal protective equipment will be used by personnel during these daily tasks. Also, we have asked them to keep the appropriate social distance (6 feet) if approached by a resident.
“Presence of the COVID 19 virus has not been detected in drinking water supplies and based on current evidence the risk to water supplies is low.”
According to the CDC, COVID 19 is mainly thought to spread between people who are in close contact with one another. EPA’s drinking water regulations require treatment at public water systems to remove or kill pathogens, including viruses.
