Plattsmouth implements mandatory water restrictions for city due to emergency repairs

Plattsmouth has implemented mandatory water restrictions for the city due to emergency repairs at the drinking water treatment plant.

According to a release, the city will be using the Cass County Rural Water as a drinking water source.

The city is asking residents to reduce water consumption by "eliminating any unnecessary water use such as irrigation, car washes and recreational pools."

"We would like to limit the demand on the water system while we make emergency repairs to the existing drinking water treatment plant," the city said in a statement.

Plattsmouth said the city's drinking water remains safe for consumption.

"The long term solution is a new drinking water source, and the City is diligently working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Nebraska Emergency Management Agency, the State of Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy, and Metropolitan Utilities District on a long term solution," the city said in a statement.
