The Betsy Bell water tank in Staunton will be out of service for approximately one month for routine tank maintenance. During this time, between Aug. 1-31, water pressure in the surrounding area could be affected.
Residences on the following streets might experience lower water pressure:
- Amherst Road
- Betsy Bell Road
- Campbell Street
- Community Way – Big Sky Apartments only
- Driscoll Street
- Ellen Street
- Frontier Ridge Court
- Mary Gray Lane
- Oak View Drive
- Pocahontas Street
- Powhatan Street
- Ramsey Street
- Sharon Lane
The City will keep a pump in service at all times on Amherst Street to maintain water pressure to the affected residences; however, at times, some residents in these areas may notice lower than normal pressure.
Additionally, to relieve possible excess pressure, the City will place a pressure release valve on two hydrants in the area serviced by the Betsy Bell water tank; one in front of Big Sky Apartments on Community Way and another on Oak View Drive. As a result, these hydrants may occasionally expel water.
