Public Notice

Thank you for your resilience, perseverance and innovation in the face of this year’s historic drought.⁠ Stage 1 Water Conservation begins September 19, 2023.

⁠

Over the course of the summer, the community achieved significant reductions in water use, responding positively to District Water Conservation measures in creative and innovative ways. Residents, businesses and visitors reduced consumption more than 20% of peak daily water use and sustained those levels from mid-July to September, despite receiving 75% less rainfall than an average summer.⁠
