How soon can the Water Emergency Response Trailer be deployed in case of emergency?

When deemed necessary, the trailer is designed to be deployed within hours of a water outage. 

Once the integrity of the water system is secure, Grants Pass City may deploy its water incident response trailer to help meet customers' minimum water needs during an extended outage. 

Deployment is at the sole discretion of Public Works Director and the City Manager and/or the incident commander in consultation with other City staff and the State of Oregon Drinking Water Program.
