However, service to wholesale buyers has been temporarily shut off in order to help rebuild the City’s water supply.”

Hill said the city is working to identify what it can do to minimize further impact. The Tallassee mayor said Tallassee citizens shouldn’t overreact by filling bathtubs and other large receptacles.

The second reading and likely vote on the matter will come at the Wetumpka City Council’s Jan. 2 meeting.

The council approved the legal advertising of the zoning change if the change is approved.

Hill asked Tallassee citizens to minimize water usage as much as possible and with the warming weather to turn off all faucets and spigots. She also said everyone should look at their water meters to determine if they have a leak. If everything in a residence is off, the meter should not be showing usage.

Hill also suggested no outdoor fires to burn boxes, leaves or other refuse to reduce the possibility of fires.

“We have been proactive and made sure all of the tankers at the fire department are full and ready if needed,” Hill said.
