faucet(CSi)  On Friday afternoon, it was reported that water line maintenance is  scheduled near the Water Treatment Plant South of LaMoure, and so the cities of Fullerton, Oakes, Edgeley, Ellendale, LaMoure and surrounding areas are asked to ration water usage for the next 24 hours.

Reservoirs are very low, so residents are asked to ration water usage. Water will also be discolored with a reddish yellow tint from iron deposits. Residents can expect the discoloration for the next week.

Water is safe to drink, but not to wash light colored clothing.
