Hi Claire,

Two I've seen recently in Covna emails are:

1. Jill Velez wrote a list a few days ago explaining how to turn off and
turn on our water. Her husband is a plumber. Maybe finding her email
would help.

2. "New Earth Plumbing owned by master plumber Andre Magat" is in a COVNA
email dated Oct. 21, 2020. His facebook page is
*"https://www.facebook.com/NewEarthPlunbing/
<https://www.facebook.com/NewEarthPlunbing/>*".

Hope this helps!

Good morning.

A reminder that we are still under a boil water notice and that many folks
do not have water. We are being instructed to continue conserving so the
rest of our neighbors can continue getting water pressure, too.

List of today’s water distribution sites below for anyone in need. A few
options close by today. :)

Map and more info below.

*Austin/Travis County Opens 10 Water Distribution Sites*

Today, February 21, Austin/Travis County will open 10 water distribution
sites. The Austin Community College Pinnacle Campus location will begin
distributing water at 9am, the remaining 9 sites will begin at 11am. All
sites will provide free water on a first come, first served basis, while
supplies last.

These sites are designated for our most vulnerable population without the
ability to purchase or boil water.  Each pick up will include 1 case of
water. If you are driving a vehicle, we ask that you have your trunk open
or have your doors unlocked so that volunteers can place water in your
vehicle.  If you are on foot, we recommend that you bring a cart or carrier
large enough to hold 1 case of water. With the increased use of bottled
water, we ask residents to recycle all single-use plastic bottles and jugs
instead of throwing them in the trash.

*Distribution begins at 9am at the following site: *

   - Austin Community College: Pinnacle Campus (7748 Highway 290 West,
   78736)

*Distribution begins at 11am at the following site(s): *

   - Nelson Field (7105 Berkman Dr., 78752)
   - Onion Creek Soccer Complex (5600 E. William Cannon Dr., 78744)
   - Roy G. Guerrero Park (400 Grove Blvd, 78741)
   - ACC Highland Mall Parking Lot (E. Highland Mall Blvd, 78752)
   - Garrison Park (6001 Menchaca Rd., 78745)
   - Lakeline Station (13625 Lyndhurst Blvd, 78717)
   - Walnut Creek Park (12138 N. Lamar Blvd, 78753)
   - Zilker Park (2301 Barton Springs Rd., 78746)
   - Anderson High School (8403 Mesa Dr., 78759)

*Boil Water and Use Restrictions*
Remember, Austin is still under a boil water notice and use restrictions.
Water used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth should be boiled for
two minutes before use.
Use restrictions are also in place to save water, and apply to both
residents and businesses.

Customers may not:

   - Use water for irrigation or testing of irrigation equipment
   - Wash vehicles, including at commercial car wash facilities
   - Wash pavement or other surfaces
   - Add water to a pool or spa
   - Conduct foundation watering, or
   - Operate an ornamental fountain or pond, other than aeration
   necessary to support aquatic life

Violations of these restrictions should be reported to Austin 3-1-1.

Thank you for your support as we work to stabilize Austin’s water plants.
