Centralia residents asked to conserve water from 7am to 7pm on Wednesday | South Central Illinois' News, Sports and Weather Station

Centralia residents are being asked to conserve water beginning at seven Wednesday morning until 7 pm Wednesday night.

The city will be conducting maintenance of water transmission lines. Due to this maintenance, the amount of water in storage will be reduced.

Everyone is asked to limit non-essential water use such as laundry or washing vehicles over the 12 hour period.

As usual, any broken water lines should be reported immediately to the City between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by calling 618-533-7623 or by calling the non-emergency number after hours at 618-533-7602
