09/29/2023

In times of uncertainty, it's remarkable how a community can come together to tackle a challenge. We want to extend our gratitude to every one for your dedication to conserving water during our current drought situation.

 

Currently, we find ourselves in Stage 1 of our drought contingency plan, and your commitment to adhering to watering restrictions has made a significant difference. We understand that it hasn't been easy, but your efforts have played a vital role in preserving our precious water resources.

 

While we've received some much-needed rain in the past week, it's important to note that it hasn't been enough to move us out of our drought contingency plan just yet. Our region still faces water scarcity challenges, and your continued cooperation is greatly appreciated.
