The Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District (PSWID) has issued a public notice warning customers in specified subdivisions not to use water "for any purposes, particularly drinking, cooking, or bathing, until further notice."

Affected subdivisions include Strawberry Mountains Shadows 1 and 2, Pine Mountain Acres, White Oaks Glen 1 and 2, Portals 1, Pine Creek Canyon, Valley View Home sites, Cool Pines Estates, Berry Hill, Payson Concrete, Cypress Hills, Strawberry Hollow, and Pine Wood Haven.  Bottled water is available at the PSWID office, 6306 W. Hardscrabble Road.

The notice also said that PSWID "is currently having difficulty maintaining a consistent supply of water in the system due to ... extreme temperatures and related water demands combined with some mechanical issues and water levels in source wells.  Customers are asked to "curtail water use as much as possible."

Sam Schwalm of Water for Pine Strawberry, a watchdog group, has not posted any information on the situation so far.  The Gazette Blog will keep you updated as this story unfolds.
