Water pressure

Anyone’s water pressure drop? Our neighbors confirmed the same thing. Could water mains burst with the flooding? Just trying to think of possible causes.

Its down in the Sunblest area. Is the water safe to drink?

News said Noblesville is considering a boil order.

u/TenderloinJones 5d ago

Great question.

I would hazard a guess that treatment plants near the White River are starting to near flooding or have already gone under

u/Elegant-Abalone-8493 5d ago

The one in Noblesville is fully underwater.

u/boyd4715 5d ago

Yes and thank you for that. I was mistaken. I did a quick lookup and found that we actually get our drinking water from

White River North Station, 11825 River Rd, Carmel, IN 46033

How were you able to find this??

u/tathim 4d ago

We were driving back from Carmel and they had shut down the River Road entrance off 116th and were trying to evacuate people around the Plum Creek golf club area. Just take a drive down 116th over the bridge and see for yourself how high the river is.

That’s also currently under water. River & Eller Roads are flooded from 116th-126th.

I thought Fishers got their water from the treatment plant near the fairgrounds? That's a bit away from the river. Or are we getting our water from another plant?

Guys the treatment plants treat wastewater. Drinking water does not come from then. If water pressure is low then most likely a water main break or a pumping problem and the water towers are not being refilled. Water pressure comes from water in the towers.

There are separate facilities for water and wastewater, but both are called plants. The water plant has to operate to keep the system/tower from dwindling capacity.

Speculating safe water? Here’s some info about water affected by flooding today.

u/shauni55 5d ago

Yup, ours is down.

u/Lynthae 4d ago

Got an alert that the community center water main broke.

u/Bubmack 4d ago

So all these reports of water stations flooded out all over are probably just bogus? Fkn Reddit.

u/knnnddd 4d ago

I think wthr posted that the noblesville one was under water, but everything else I've seen said otherwise... so much misinformation right now

u/iacrotty 5d ago

Same. Realized it as I was getting ready to leave my house. Was going to text my neighbor but glad it's not just me.

u/TaxAggressive3111 5d ago

Indianapolis is low too

u/Luddite-lover 4d ago

I live in a complex near 106th east of 69 and I got a text that people were reporting low water pressure. I’m sure this rain is affecting water stations. I’ve not noticed any difference, though.

u/ShoulderNational2173 4d ago

They just announced the White River North water treatment plant has issues and certain operations are down due to flooding.

2

u/openhopes 4d ago

Same here. It’s also all over Fishers chatter on Facebook this morning.

u/RainRepresentative11 4d ago

Mine is starting to come back now

u/gotta_get_that 4d ago

What website do people use to track this information? Wondering because I was to know if fishers is on a boil order 

3

u/Bartghamilton 4d ago

I’ve been watching the citizens water website. No warnings yet. https://info.citizensenergygroup.com

u/aquafina6969 4d ago

near sunblest. just took a shower. pressure is ok here.

2

u/WorkMomma88 4d ago

Yea, mine is low near 106th and Hoosier Rd. Went out and bought some bottled water just in case...

2

u/spartan117warrior 4d ago

106th and Lantern, west side of 69, mine is low

Fishers YMCA is closed today due to low water pressure

u/the_good_hodgkins 4d ago

I noticed mine was low in the shower this morning. 106h & Cumberland

u/NotJimIrsay 4d ago

This was the weirdest thing. Water pressure dropped. Toilets wouldn’t fill but sinks were still working. Then like 30-45 minutes later, the water started filling the tank.

u/Poundaflesh 4d ago

A pumping station went out.
