OAKLAND, Md. — The Town of Oakland has lifted its request for water conservation on the Oakland water system, according to a notice the Town published Tuesday, Oct. 27.
"Customers are no longer being asked to conserve water at this time," the notice states.
The Town said it is committed to maintaining its water system and providing safe and reliable drinking water. "We will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates if any changes or additional actions become necessary," the notice reads.
The Town thanked customers for their patience and support.
The Town first asked all customers to conserve water "until further notice" on Oct. 6, after the Broadford Water Treatment Plant was taken offline Oct. 3 for high turbidity. At the Oct. 20 Town Council meeting, Mayor Andrew Sauder said Broadford came back online Oct. 16 and that the conservation request would likely be lifted that week.
