Release
TextMyGov Coming Soon to BRPWD
Buell Red Prairie Water District (BRP or BRPWD) will be implementing TextMyGov, a convenient and smart text messaging service! This service will enable residents to effortlessly receive important notifications by texting BRPWD ALERTS (lower case also acceptable) to 91896.
BRPWD will officially launch the new text messaging system in the coming weeks. Residents may receive a text message from 91896 from the BRPWD ALERTS or BRP street name initiating the service. You can choose to opt-out at any time by texting STOP.
If you don’t receive the initial message, you can choose to opt-in by texting the keyword “BRPWD ALERTS” to the number 91896 or BRP and your street name (BRP Gooseneck) to the number 91896 After sending the initial keyword, you will be asked to reply “YES” to confirm opt-in. A link for TextMyGov will be on the website.
Notification of water outages will continue to be posted on our website brpwater.com and on Facebook.
Sincerely,
Board of Directors
Buell Red Prairie Water District

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION​​
KEEP YOUR WATER METER ACCESSIBLE
​
Please trim bushes, trees, and grass that block the way or cover the meter. Unlock your gate if your meter is located behind a locked gate, or provide a key to our District office. We must have easy access to the meter, without our staff having to climb a fence or push through bushes. We usually read meters between the 20th and 24th of each month.
Thank you for your cooperation!
