STEUBENVILLE – Water Superintendent Jim Jenkins told City Council Tuesday water production is headed in the right direction.
“Hopefully, we’ll be lifting the conservation order tomorrow and it will be business as usual,” Jenkins said. “This wasn’t a crisis, but it was close: People still had water, we just asked residents to use it wisely. The ones that conserved, it made a difference.”
Jenkins had issued the conservation notice Friday after determining the plant’s super-pulsators weren’t performing correctly and the plant was struggling to produce enough water to properly supply the city’s needs.”
“When I left work Thursday, we were struggling, but still managing to produce enough water,” he said. “But when I came in Friday morning, (tanks and wells) were low, we were on the verge of a crisis, on the verge of losing water production in most of the city.”
