As the drought continues to worsen and we head for an extreme heatwave, we would like to remind everyone that we are at a level 3 Critical drought status. Groundwater levels continue to decrease, limiting pumping capacity. State restrictions on the Ashland plant are also now in place reducing the amount of pumping from the plant. Under our current water use restriction, there is NO LAWN WATERING permitted. Please make sure that all automatic sprinklers are in the off position. The filling of pools, vehicle washing, powering washing and all other non-essential use is also prohibited.

It is extremely important that everyone follow these resections to ensure we have an adequate supply of water for our essential daily needs and for fighting fires. Thank you for your cooperation in this very important matter.
