There are a few restrictions about who’s allowed to return. Authorities only want local, full-time residents to return, and they’re asked to bring food and water supplies. The grocery stores will not be operating fully, they said.
The Village also noted there will be no childcare, and some homes may not have gas, water, or electricity. A Boil Water Advisory is in place, and questions can be directed to a line found by calling 575-258-6900.
