WILLIAMS — The City of Williams announced on their web site that as of yesterday, the City is in Resource Status Level 1.
The announcement cautions, “While there are no specific water use restrictions associated with Level 1, per Code, even under Level 1 Resource Level ‘water users are specifically encouraged to minimize waste in water used for irrigation, vehicle and pavement washing, construction and all other uses’.”
The recent storm seems to be filling the reservoirs and some have reported that tanks around their homes in the forest are filling.
The City of Williams is encouraging all residents and visitors to follow sensible water-saving tips. Examples are:
- When watering plants or yard, use a minimum amount of water. Do not lay out hoses and let them run. Monitor your water use directly.
- For non-food plants, grey water can still be used effectively.
- Utilize available car washes. If you must wash at home, use buckets to monitor how much you use.
- Shut off tap while shaving and brushing teeth.
- Continue to monitor for leaks and get them repaired.
- If you must clean driveways or walkways, you could used the same water you just used to mop kitchen or bathroom floors.
It might even be a good time to calculate the savings you might enjoy by replacing appliances and fixtures with newer, water-saving models.
