Water Conservation Update
What a difference a year and some rain can make. This year the late spring rains left the reservoirs full and for the first time in three years has eased the summer drought conditions. Although our water supply picture looks much brighter this year than in the past we are still reminding customers that our water is a resource and they should eliminate waste and focus on becoming water efficient.
For information on becoming water efficient customer can call the Water Conservation Hotline at 543-3985 or visit our website at www.srcity.org/wc
