Water ban in effect, warnings being made to violators

Hopefully you all know there has been a limited "water ban" in effect since last Thursday (Sep 18, 2025).  

Water ban in effect, warnings being made to violators

This ban is a preventive measure due to the facts of the on going drought in our area and the scheduled shut down of some of our largest wells for planned maintenance (have been planned for over a year).  The major component of the ban is not allowing the use of automatic irrigation systems to water lawns.  Hand held water use is still allowed.

To help get the word out, we have been out patrolling the last couple of nights and have issued over 190 "warning letters" to residents.  We are sure some folks do not now about this ban, so these warning should be considered informative in nature. 

 

Please help spread the word
