A lightning strike occurred near Indiantown’s water treatment plant Friday night, causing an outage that has impacted the water system for the village’s 6,800 residents. The village in Martin County said utility crews are on-site working to restore water service and system pressure as quickly and safely as possible.
A thorough assessment of the damage is underway. The village receives water from the artesian aquifer via eight wells, which are located around the Village Water Treatment Plant. It distributes 400,000 to 500,000 gallons per day of drinking water to its customers.
Restoration Efforts
Utility crews are working to restore normal operations as soon as possible. The village has asked residents for their patience and understanding during this time.
