The District will be taking a 500,000 gallon tank offline for inside and outside rehab and will not have enough water storage available to handle any high pumping demands. Only Domestic household usage is permitted during this time. This project is scheduled to take approx. 6 weeks if weather is cooperative. We will notify the District customers when this project is done and the restrictions are lifted. If you have any questions please call the Office at 402-782-3495 or check lrwd1.com for updates. Thank you.
Coming September 15th, we will be taking a water tank down for maintenance and rehab. Please click the link below to read the notice.

We are asking customers that run sprinkler systems to cut run times by 50% due to water levels in our elevated towers. If the District does not see a reduced amount of water being demanded due to the mandatory reduction, we will have no choice but to ban sprinkler use for the rest of the year.”
Thank you. Jordon Bang, District Manager
