(KLZA)--Due to the flooding threat and the city’s water treatment plant being flooded the city of Peru has ordered a water conservations notice. They are asking residents not to wash clothes, dishes or take showers at this time. They ask that water use be reserved for drinking and the occasional flushing.
The Nemaha County Emergency Angency is currently working on delivering bottled water, filling up water bladders for each household and they are also working on bringing in a tanker truck to fill the water tower.
As a result of the water conservation notice the Peru State College campus will be closed Monday, March 18th. The College is encouraging students on campus and in town to go someplace more comfortable through at least Monday evening.
