2012 Mandatory Water Rationing Schedule & Map

*********************************************************

Due to the drought conditions we want to inform our customers of the present situation.

 REASONS FOR CURRENT LOW PRESSURES:

1.       Extreme heat caused several pump failures yesterday - Working on the problem today.

2.       Malfunctioning automated valve failure yesterday - Working on the problem today.

3.       Power surges from the power companies.

4.       Extreme heat and extremely abnormal high water usage.

 In lieu of the drought conditions in the summer of 2011, RWD 3 has completed 11 pipeline projects to prevent a repeat and to benefit the  higher elevations.  RWD 3 wants our customers to understand, although we have worked very diligently, we've not had time to complete all the extensive, planned projects.  We still have several projects that are yet to be completed, and are as follows:
