The hot and dry weather experienced this summer has increased the demand for water for lawn and flower bed watering that leaves little water in reserve for routine maintenance and emergency response.

• Users are asked to restrict their water use to watering only on
the days that correspond with your address. For example, a house
number ending with an even number should water only on calendar
days that are even numbered and vice versa with numbers that are
odd.

• Times of the day that cause particular problems are between the
hours of 7:00pm and midnight. When it is your day to water, please
do so in the early morning hours.

As the City grows, water storage and distribution systems are stretched to accommodate the growth. Reservoirs, Booster Stations and Pipeline upgrades are all projects identified to be built or upgraded with funding assistance coming through Development Cost Charge Funds which are paid into by all new development property in the City.

Water conservation will allow us time for those funds to grow before those major upgrades are required.
