| | | | | | | | AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Update on Voluntary Water Ban for Summer 2019
|
| | | | | | | | PRESENTER:
David Pinsonneault, Director of Public Works | ITEM NUMBER:
I.2
|
|
| | | | | | | | SUMMARY:
In our effort to ensure that all water users in Lexington have sufficient water volumes, we are requesting all outdoor water use (irrigation, power washing, car washing, etc.) in Lexington be restricted between the hours of 5:30 am and 8:30 am from July 26th to October 4th 2019. Restricting outdoor water usage during this time frame will allow more water to be available to all residential, commercial, and industrial users to meet their indoor water usage demands with a limited impact on pressures throughout the Towns water system. We also suggest that all water users in Lexington consider water conservation techniques both outdoors and indoors to help preserve this resource.
|
| | | | | | | | SUGGESTED MOTION:
Move to implement a voluntary outdoor water use time restriction from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. beginning July 26th and continuing through October 4th, 2019.
|
| | | | | | | | FOLLOW-UP:
Staff will notify residents and businesses and will also monitor pressures and usage during this period.
