Normal Water Supply

We are currently enjoying normal water supply levels. While this allows us to deliver water to our customers to the fullest extent, we always encourage you to use water efficiently. Repair leaky faucets and pipes, install automatic shut-off devices on hoses and prevent run-off when watering your landscape by setting your timer to water in 2-3 short cycles.

 

While this year's water supply has been plentiful, future forecasts are uncertain. We will continue to update our customers about our water supply as it changes.

 

Check out these links for more information on how you can use water more efficiently.
