Stage 1 Response -- MILD Water Shortage Conditions

Target: Achieve a voluntary five percent (5%) reduction in total water use.

  Best Management Practices for Supply Management:

The following measures will be implemented directly by Bolivar Peninsula Special Utility District to manage limited water supplies and/or reduce water demand: reduce or discontinue flushing of water mains, careful monitoring of system to prevent tank overflows and/or to quickly repair line breaks.

  Voluntary Water Use Restrictions for Reducing Demand:

• Water customers are requested to voluntarily limit the irrigation of landscaped areas to Sundays and Thursdays for customers with a street address ending in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6 or 8), and Saturdays and Wednesdays for water customers with a street address ending in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9), and to irrigate landscapes only between the hours of midnight and 10:00am and 8:00pm to midnight on designated watering days.
• All operations of the Bolivar Peninsula Special Utility District shall adhere to water use restrictions prescribed for Stage 2 of the Plan.
• Water customers are requested to practice water conservation and to minimize or discontinue water use for non-essential purposes.
