Glidden residents may be without water for approximately six hours tomorrow (Thursday) while crews complete overdue maintenance to the community’s mains. According to City Administrator Brooke Peterson, workers will be replacing the town’s primary water distribution meter and conducting their annual water tower inspection at the same time. Work is expected to begin around 9 a.m. Thursday and should be completed by 3 p.m. However, Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) regulations require a boil advisory to be activated once service is restored. Any water used for consumption, including making ice, washing dishes, and brushing teeth, must be boiled for at least one minute. City officials anticipate the boil advisory remaining active through Saturday, Oct. 22. Questions about this project can be directed to Glidden City Hall at 712-659-3010.
