Overview of current wise water use guidelines

Now, more than ever, it is important to use water wisely. This includes a common sense approach to watering (avoiding outdoor watering at the peak of the day's heat), not wasting water on driveways and irrigating efficiently. 

Water when?

No outdoor watering between noon and 6 pm.

Water what?

No watering in a manner that, as determined at the discretion of PID, results in excessive runoff onto hard surfaces.  Vehicle washing with potable water only permissable with use of a bucket and a hose with a shut-off nozzle.

Your responsibilities:

Upon notification by PID, customer must repair leaks on customer side plumbing.  Customers are encouraged to sign up for DropCountr to monitor water use and receive leak alerts.   Occurrences of non-compliance, reported to, or observed by a District representative will be followed by a mailed or written warning. Only one such warning will be issued. Second and subsequent violations, observed by a District representative, will result in a personally delivered or mailed written notice of a $25.00 Quantity Surcharge to appear on the next water bill.
