PRESS RELEASE MANDATORY WATER CONSERVATION NOTICE – CANCELLATION

The Bedford Borough Water Authority is CANCELLING their previously issued Mandatory Water Conservation Notice effective immediately. This original notice was a result of the low flows in the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River, created by the ongoing lack of sustained precipitation in the River’s watershed west of Bedford.
Please share this information with all neighbors who have helped to conserve water, especially those who may not receive this notice directly.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience during this mandatory water conservation period. As always, you may contact the Bedford Borough Water Authority at telephone (814) 623-8192.
