FVOP COVID 19 UPDATE
To all Utility customers:
FVOP plays a vital health role for you and downtime is not an option.

We want to assure you that we will provide fast responses in emergencies and that skilled staff will be available 24-7, 365 days year.
We are also taking some additional actions during the Coronavirus pandemic.
- We have temporarily stopped entering residential homes for non-emergency needs such as water meter replacement, installations, reads and repairs to minimize the spread to our healthy staff.
- Our water and wastewater plants will no longer accept visits from non-essential personnel. Gates and doors will be locked.
- We have done contingency planning in the event that several of our Operations staff are away from work due to the pandemic. We will maintain critical operations and use staff from other parts of our firm or subcontract work if necessary. In the event this happens, we appreciate your patience as we work through any issues that may arise.
If you have additional concerns, contact Jerry Livernois, Operator-in-Charge, or any of the other operators.
