Essential-Water-Use-Only Request

What is an Essential-Water-Use-Only Request?

An Essential-Water-Use-Only request is made when there is a need for immediate water conservation for fire protection and to increase system storage. This request may occur when there is a power outage to a facility or a significant number of breaks in an area.

What should customers do?
