Loading...MARCH 31, 2017
Today the city continues emergency water conservation measures. Water usage yesterday evening and early this morning has reduced city reserves. Well No. 5 repairs are expected to begin today and work is continuing to proceed to provide CGMA surface water into the system without a boil order.
The following actions are requested of our citizens and businesses:
— outdoor watering only by hand – disable automatic sprinkler systems
— washing of driveways and sidewalks is prohibited
— limit consumption of water while brushing teeth to the beginning and end
— take short showers in lieu of baths
— use dishwashers and washing machines as little as possible
— restaurants are encouraged to not serve water unless requested
— filling ponds with potable water is prohibited
These measures are to maintain a safe margin for drinking water and fire protection.

MARCH 30, 2017
The city is enacting emergency water conservation measures. Well No. 5, the city’s largest producer of water, is not operational. It is unknown if the failure is tied to the recent storms.
— outdoor watering is strongly discouraged and if necessary hand watering only
— washing of driveways and sidewalks prohibited
— limit the consumption of water while showering and brushing teeth to the beginning and end
— discourage taking a bath instead of showering
— use dishwashers and washing machines as little as possible
— encourage restaurants to not serve water unless requested
— prohibit filling ponds with potable water
These measures are in an effort to maintain a safe margin of water for drinking and fire protection. Public Works personnel are coordinating with vendors to make repairs as soon as possible. Public Works, engineering and GTUA are also working to determine if there is a way to temporarily supply water to the city from CGMA water line system.
