WATER CONSERVATION REQUEST
The Town is asking all utility users connected to the water system to reduce water use temporarily and voluntarily by employing any and all conservation measures possible. Such measures include, but are not limited to:
- limiting the number and duration of showers,
- not washing vehicles,
- limiting and consolidating loads of laundry and dishes,
- not allowing faucets to run,
- fixing leaky faucets or toilets.
The Town is searching for a significant water loss in our system distribution piping, likely due to broken water lines caused by the recent severe cold temperatures. Frozen ground, snow cover, and now melting snow and ice make it exceedingly difficult for us to pinpoint the problem. We are currently testing and evaluating our town-wide water distribution systems and networks for both volume and pressure indicators. Various contractors will be working around town.
If you see unusual water volumes or flows, please contact the Town Office (540-743-5511) or after hours/weekends, the Page County Dispatch Office (540) 743-6571, Option 4 immediately.
Currently, this notice is a POTENTIAL LOW WATER SUPPLY WARNING
Given our current operations, we are working to rebuild potrable water volumes in our storage tanks and reservoir while also keeping system users supplied with adequate volume and pressure. Our system recovers somewhat overnight when user water demand is at its lowest level. If we can achieve more water conservation during the day, we believe that we can more readily resolve the issues. Other measures may be required if voluntary conservation does not work.
Please do your part and reduce your water use as much as possible each day until we can find and resolve the problem(s). Your assistance is crucial to our success. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this critical matter for our community!
