Plan details are available at https://weblink.cityofpt.us/weblink/0/doc/118749/Page1.aspx
City water use averaged 965,343 gallons per day over the past seven days, 82,788 gallons
more than the previous week. While municipal water consumption peaked over the weekend
during the Wooden Boat Festival, usage over the past week dropped to its lowest point since
late April. Lords Lake is at 25’ 1”’ today, with approximately 350 million gallons remaining in the
reservoir. River diversions are supplying 6.3 million gallons of water today.
Water conservation tip of the week:
Insulate the hot water pipes in your home. Pre-slit foam insulation is inexpensive and available
at most hardware and home improvement stores. By insulating your pipes, you can reduce the
amount of water wasted down the drain while waiting for warm water.
