City officials in Lynndyl say there is nothing to fear after their wells completely failed. In a post to the Lynndyl Town Facebook page it was shared that initially there were pump issues at the city wells but things went from bad to worse when the wells failed. The post shared concerns over inaccuracies recently shared by some state news outlets and stated “the wells are not dry and the national guard is not on its way.”

Currently water is being trucked from Leamington and Delta to fill the towns storage tank and officials planed to shock the tank with chlorine this morning, after which water will be released into the system. Lynndyl will be under a boil notice for the foreseeable future and they ask that every resident exercises extreme conservation such as: short showers, consolidated toilet flushes when possible and no irrigation.

Officials are hoping to have the pump back up and running on Monday and ask residents to please check on their neighbors.
