 We determine watering days based on our ability to meet irrigation demands throughout the summer, balanced by our ability to produce water. In order to maintain Stage 2 conservation, it is critical all residents follow the two-day watering schedule.
Watering more than two days each week creates a demand level our wells simply cannot sustain. As the chart shows, water demands through May 15th are 3.29 million gallons per day (mgd), an increase of 1.06 mgd from last May. Should this trend continue it will be necessary to implement one day a week or no outside watering.
It is our goal to continue Stage 2 Conservation this summer, but we need your cooperation and a community effort to make it happen. Please help conserve our water supply by following the Water Conservation Stage in effect. You can also help out by reporting all leaks, no matter how small.
We continue to acquire additional water resources with persistent and progressive tactics. While these efforts take time to implement, eventually, they should enable us to supply additional water for irrigation. Until then, we ask for your support.
Reminder: Beginning April 1, 2008, Cherokee Metropolitan District will begin the Stage 2 of the water conservation schedule. Please see chart below for details on watering:
