September 2023 - Customers asked to voluntarily reduce water use after an unusually dry summer

We have had an unusually dry summer and are facing a potential water shortage this fall. We are asking customers to voluntarily reduce their water use. This will help stretch the region’s water supply for people and fish until we get enough fall rain to improve our supply.
