Mandatory Water Conservation Is Lifted
GM UPDATE: Tuesday, July 2, at 9 AM
Well, Folks, this is the day and this will be my last update on the tank re-coating project and its aftermath! At 8:30 AM, MCWD's tank level stood at 23.16. This is within the normal operating range, so I am lifting all restrictions. I'm very busy today but will soon put up the blue flags.
I would like to sincerely thank all those who have conserved throughout this challenging time. Small communities like Mineral's can only survive if members willingly work together to preserve social ties, resources, and infrastructure. True community spirit is what got us through this once-in-20-year event.
You are free to irrigate lawns or gardens but I hope that everyone will use outdoor water sensibly by watering before 8 AM or after 8 PM. This practice is the most efficient for plant and soil absorption, due to the high evaporation rates we experience during the hot and dry days of summer.
