Voluntary Water Use Reductions
Just like last month, the city is again asking residents to conserve water as rainfall levels are recorded to be 8 inches less than normal for this time of year. Here is some neat information pulled from the city Web site:
Public water demand for August 9, 2007 was 45.9 Million Gallons (MG).
Public water demand for the same day one year ago was 40.1 MG.
Rainfall through 8:00 am:
Lake Brandt:0.00 inches.
Lake Townsend:0.00 inches.
Lake Levels as of this morning:
Lake Brandt:-15.25 inches.
Lake Townsend:-41.10 inches.
What does all this mean? From the news release: "Daily watering of turf at this time is discouraged and customers should consider resetting irrigation systems to every second or third day."
