February 26th, 2026 – Over the past three days, citywide water consumption has not decreased under Stage 3 restrictions. Because our water storage remains critically low during construction, we must move to Stage 5 restrictions to protect system pressure and avoid a boil water notice.
Effective immediately, water use is restricted to essential needs only.
The following are strictly prohibited:
• Irrigation of landscaped areas
• Washing of motor vehicles, boats, trailers, etc.
• Filling swimming pools
• Operation of ornamental fountains
• New water service connections
These measures are temporary and construction is expected to be complete within approximately one week. Restrictions could be reduced sooner if storage levels recover.
We understand this is inconvenient, but these steps are necessary to protect water service for the entire community. We appreciate your immediate cooperation and conservation efforts.
