CONTINUING NEED FOR CONSERVATION
In August the flow of water from our natural springs fell further – another 10% decline. We are approaching a more serious condition and wish to remind residents and visitors about the need for water conservation.
While we’ve recently had some days with light rain, it’s important to note that these small amounts provide no increase in the flow from our springs. It takes about two months of the heavier Fall/Winter rains to create a surplus in our system.
Labor Day weekend creates additional stress on supplies, and though usage can decline afterward it’s still 8 or 10 weeks until we can expect real rain.
Please continue to conserve our resource so essential needs and firefighting capabilities are met.
> Fix known leaks, and if you think you may have a hidden leak, contact the district office for an assessment.
> Please minimize all outdoor water use and postpone car/driveway/deck washing.
> If landscape/garden watering is essential, please use a drip system or water by hand.
Have a “water aware” state of mind and remember – our natural spring system is a Neahkahnie treasure. Please help keep it healthy.
