Municipal water consumption slowly continues on a downward trend with sustained cooler
weather. City water use averaged 906,000 gallons per day over the past seven days, 17,662
gallons less than the previous week. Lords Lake is at 20’ 11”’ today, with approximately 280
million gallons remaining in the reservoir. River diversions are supplying 2.5 million gallons of
water today.
Water conservation tip of the week:
Being familiar with the settings on your washing machine can save water. Make sure to match
the water level with the load size. Presoaking heavily soiled clothing can prevent the need to
rewash.
