Residents on the Woodland Heights Water System near Taghum have moved to Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures effective immediately due to high water consumption resulting in continuous operation of the well pump and reduced reservoir levels.
The RDCK said excessive irrigation and irrigation system leakage may be responsible for the increased demand are requesting customers check irrigation systems for leaks and adhere to the permitted irrigation hours.
Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures Include
- Watering of lawns, gardens, trees, and shrubs is ONLY permitted between 6:00 am – 10:00 am and 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm.
- Watering of gardens, trees, and shrubs by watering can or handheld hose is still permitted anytime.
Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures will remain in effect until further notice.
Stricter water conservation measures may be required if demand increases further, hot and dry weather persists, or if the reservoir declines to critically low levels.
