(KAIR)--The Delaware River Boat Ramp parking lot, at Valley Falls, is closed to the public until further notice.
That word was delivered in a release issued by the City of Valley Falls Wednesday.
The release explains that the closure "is necessary because the City is currently using a backup water intake pump from the river following the breakdown of the main water intake pump," with the release adding that "the backup system requires the use of the parking lot area to ensure continued delivery of safe and reliable water to the community."
The closure, the release says, "will remain in effect until the main intake pump can be replaced," with the City of Valley Falls "actively working on a long-term solution and will update residents as progress is made."
The City, the release says, appreciates "the community's understanding and cooperation as [the City works] through this equipment failure,” adding that the City's "top priority is maintaining uninterrupted water service for all residents.”
