Unexpected maintenance on the Ainsworth well has forced residents to conserve water until further notice.

According to Ainsworth Water Treatment Plant Superintendent Chad McCleary it came to his attention Thursday night that the well was not producing a sufficient amount of water, so they took the well out of service for repairs. McCleary expects the well to be back in service during the day Saturday. The water is safe to consume but Ainsworth residents are advised to conserve water until noted otherwise.
