City of New Market issued the following announcement on Oct. 11.
CITY OF NM PUBLIC NOTICE
As of now, the Water Tower Painting project is on hold. However, we are still going to complete the other maintenance that will require the water to be turned completely off for a few hours.
We will be turning the water off on Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at 9:00 AM. We are anticipating the water will remain off until 12:00 PM but it will depend on how smoothly the maintenance goes. We will get the water back on as soon as possible.
Boil Alert
Once the water is turned back on, we will be under a Boil Alert until further notice.
The same conditions listed in our public alert notice about the water tower painting apply with the exception that we will only be under the alert ONCE not twice. We will keep you posted throughout this process. We anticipate the alert to be lifted on Friday, October 18, 2019 but we CANNOT guarantee it will happen that quickly. It depends on the results of the water testing. We will let you know as soon as the alert is lifted.
You can call City Hall at 712-585-3479 for updates. You can also check our website at www.newmarketia.com or our Facebook page at facebook.com/newmarketia (City of New Market Iowa).

We will also be posting the notices throughout town.
