March 12, 2025  

Edit:  Service is being restored now.  There will be a 48 hour boil advisory starting at 2 pm March 12 and ending at 2 pm March 14.  

Water outage on 280th St between Breckenridge Rd and Dixon Rd.  Our main was hit and the crew is on their way.

August 25, 2024  If you don't already know, we buy your water from the city of Plattsburg.  The City of Plattsburg is planning to conduct a system "burnout" starting September 8.  I am sharing information that will explain why you might experience a chlorine smell in your water during September or October this year.  We here at PWSD #4 will be following the City's lead and will be monitoring and flushing the water in our system just as diligently.  

The City uses a substance called chloramine - which is essentially a combination of ammonia and chlorine - as the primary chemical used to treat our drinking water in order to kill bacteria and make the water safe and potable.  Occasionally, water utilities will make a temporary switch from chloramine to "free clorine" (removing the ammonia element from the mixture) in order to deep clean the inside of  the water lines.  This is, in essence, similar to running vinegar through a coffee maker: it sanitizes the lines and removes tiny amounts of sediment which can settle in the pipes over time.  During the free chlorine conversion period (colloquially called a "burnout" in the water treatment industry), our public works crews will use the city's fire hydrant network to suck the free chlorine through the lines and flush the sediment out of the water network.  This is a routine procedure done by many water utilities across the nation to ensure the safest, highest - quality drinking water possible.  We are working cooperatively with water treatment experts from the Department of Natural Resources and will be doing frequent water quality tests during the treatment process.

While our water is being treated by free chlorine, you can expect your tap water to have a pronounced bleach odor and/or flavor.  This is 100% normal and is no cause for alarm.  Likewise, you may or may not experience discolored or cloudy water as a result of the flushing activity stirring up sediment in the pipes, which is a common ocurrence.  If this happens, run your faucets, spigots and taps, and flush your toilets until the water runs clear.  In fact, flushing your home or business water lines during the conversion period will help sanitize your own water pipes in the same way it cleans the City's mains.  If you have a water filtration system (or a water filter on your refridgerator), it might be advisable to change the filter after the flushing is completed.  Flushing takes place in the evening hours, so there may be areas of town that experience on short period (lasting less than an hour) of low water pressure when the lines are being flushed.  

August 17, 2024 1:15 pm  No boil order as of right now. We are issuing a 48 hour precautionary system wide boil advisory to be on the safe side. To explain: a boil order means that we are prone to contamination. An advisory means we are directly connected to a supplier the we know had a problem. We believe that the results of our actions within our system have avoided the contamination.

August 16, 2024.  8:00 pm.  Hey all.  EVERYONE.  Clinton County PWSD #4 is currently experiencing low water levels due to a major water line break within our supplier.  We are asking all Clinton 4 customers to please conserve water as much as possible for the next 48 hours so we can all recover from this incident.  All who receive this message and can spread the word to their neighbors will be most helpful to the water districts and Clinton 4 customers.  Thank you so much.  Please let your neighbors who don’t use internet resources know about this.

September 26, 2022  If you don't already know, we buy your water from the city of Plattsburg.  I am relaying the message in a letter that they sent to all of their consumers recently.  We here at PWSD #4 will be following the City's lead and will be monitoring and flushing the water in our system just as diligently.  

"We are sending you this letter to notify you that the City of Plattsburg will be doing a temporary free chlorine conversion and flushing of our water system during the second half of October of this year.

The City uses a substance called chloramine - which is essentially a combination of ammonia and chlorine - as the primary chemical used to treat our drinking water in order to kill bacteria and make the water safe and potable.  Occasionally, water utilities will make a temporary switch from chloramine to "free clorine" (removing the ammonia element from the mixture) in order to deep clean the inside of  the water lines.  This is, in essence, similar to running vinegar through a coffee maker: it sanitizes the lines and removes tiny amounts of sediment which can settle in the pipes over time.  During the free chlorine conversion period (colloquially called a "burnout" in the water treatment industry), our public works crews will use the city's fire hydrant network to suck the free chlorine through the lines and flush the sediment out of the water network.  This is a routine procedure done by many water utilities across the nation to ensure the safest, highest - quality drinking water possible.  We are working cooperatively with water treatment experts from the Department of Natural Resources and will be doing frequent water quality tests during the treatment process.

While our water is being treated by free chlorine, you can expect your city tap water to have a pronounced bleach odor and/or flavor.  This is 100% normal and is no cause for alarm.  Likewise, you may or may not experience discolored or cloudy water as a result of the flushing activity stirring up sediment in the pipes, which is a common ocurrence.  If this happens, run your faucets, spigots and taps, and flush your toilets until the water runs clear.  In fact, flushing your home or business water lines during the conversion period will help sanitize your own water pipes in the same way it cleans the City's mains.  If you have a water filtration system (or a water filter on your refridgerator), it might be advisable to change the filter after the flushing is completed.  Flushing takes place in the evening hours, so there may be areas of town that experience on short period (lasting less than an hour) of low water pressure when the lines are being flushed.  We are anticipating this procedure to begin on Monday, October 17th and may last through Monday, October 31st."

Water District Launches New Web Site

CPWSD #4 of Clinton County, Missouri announced the launch of their new web site.  According to Laurie Ahart, project manager for the site, the purpose is to extend the office and information to better serve their customers.  "We're excited about being on the Internet," Ahart said.  "Besides contact names and numbers we are pleased to be able to provide and archive board meeting minutes and water quality reports.  Providing online information saves time and money and that directly translates to saving for the district and ultimately, our customers."

Web site services were provided by World Visions Internet Services, LLC (WVIS) in cooperation with the Missouri Rural Water Association (MRWA).  Steve Highlander, Director of Web Development for the company said, "We have had a long-standing relationship with MRWA, developing and managing their organizational site for a number of years.  Last year MRWA asked us to provide value-added services to their affiliate systems and assocaite members. We are pleased to work with MRWA and their local water districts to provide cost savings and service to their customers."
