CVRM Aids Carver Tract During Boil Water Notice

Coachella Valley Rescue Mission Helps Carver Tract During Boil Water Notice

CARVER TRACT – Residents of this community can receive assistance including bottled water from the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission while the community’s water system is under a boil water notice.

On Tuesday, construction activity damaged a service line. Emergency repairs were made and the water is back on, but residents should boil water while the boil notice is in effect.

The Coachella Valley Rescue Mission is providing water through Monday, when the boil notice is expected to be lifted. For today, at 4 p.m., CVRM will serve dinner.

Supervisor V. Manuel Perez learned about this morning’s water outage from a resident and connected with Carver Tract Community Water Company board members and with CVRM to get assistance in place.

“Thank you to Carver Tract Community Water Company board members Estefania Navarro and Alan Silva for quickly addressing this,” said Supervisor Perez. “Thank you to the Indio Water Authority for their response and quick assistance on opening the two-inch emergency connection. And a big thank you to CVRM for stepping up for our community. Their assistance with water and meals means a lot, and so does the outreach, and I really appreciate CVRM for being a resource.”

Boiling tap water is necessary because the water was shut off and will have to undergo back-to-back testing before it is determined to be safe to drink. The Carver Tract Community Water Company expects the notice to be lifted by Monday.
