Water Conservation Alert

A Phase III Extreme Water Shortage has been declared due to ongoing drought conditions across portions of the District. Below-average rainfall, declining groundwater levels, and reduced river flows continue to place significant stress on regional water resources.

Water shortage declarations are temporary measures used to help protect water supplies during extended dry periods. Conditions are monitored regularly, and additional restrictions may be implemented if conditions continue to worsen.

What this means for you:

-Landscape irrigation is limited to one day a week and prohibited between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.

-Irrigation of new plantings, including sod, is further restricted.

-Commercial, industrial, and institutional users must suspend certain non-essential water uses.

-Aesthetic water use is prohibited, and additional restrictions apply to activities such as street and pressure washing.

-Wasteful and unnecessary water use is prohibited.

-Residents, businesses, agricultural operations, and other water users are encouraged to proactively plan for continued dry conditions and the potential for additional restrictions.

Current watering schedule:

- Homes with odd-numbered addresses (ending in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9): Saturdays

- Homes with even-numbered addresses (ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8): Sundays

- Businesses and nonresidential properties: Tuesdays

Please water only as needed and keep irrigation to no more than one hour per zone. These restrictions apply to all water sources, including private wells and irrigation systems.

Residents and businesses are encouraged to conserve water now to help avoid additional restrictions should dry conditions persist.
