Water Conservation

A message from our water operator:

Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner. That means we wil be planting gardens and greening up our lawns. We would appreciate it if all of our customers would conserve water this Summer. One (1) inch of water a week is all a lawn requires to stay healthy and green. You can put out an empty tuna can and when it is full from sprinkling or irrigation, you have met your water requirements for the week. Try to use water wisely, it's important.

During the Summer months when we consume a lot of water the wells are running constantly and so are the booster pumps in the well house. Pumps require some sleep time just like you and me. To replace a pump or booster pump the price can be as high as $1000.00. Also our electric bill is $1000.00 a month or more. Please keep this in mind as the weather warms and you spend more time watering.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation regarding this request.

As our old friend Ben Franklin said over 270 years ago, "When the well runs dry, we know the worth of water."
