Please be advised that a Measure A Water Restriction is now in effect. This restriction has been initiated by the capital region system and impacts all stakeholders, including the WILD Water Commission membership. The restriction requires a ban on non-essential potable water use for all municipal operations. The ban is expected to last until we receive some relief in the form of rainfall. Warm weather and dry conditions are causing increased demand on the regional system and stressing the system’s ability to meet recommended draw rates during peak times.
In keeping with the effort of our regional partners, please restrict non-essential potable water use drawn from the WILD Water System by immediately suspending the following activities in your municipality:
- Water main flushing
- Sewer main flushing
- Fire-fighting training
- Street sweeping
- Irrigation
- Fleet vehicle washing (including buses)
- Other non-essential water use (non-essential use is defined by all water not used for human consumption)
At this time, the restriction does not include limitations to residential or commercial uses. We will update members with additional information or any changes in the status of this restriction as the situation develops.
As always, thank you for your cooperation in addressing the matter.
