🚨 Stage 4 Water Conservation Advisory – Critical Water Shortage Alert 🚨

Current Consumption vs. Supply:
The city is currently using an average of 1.3 million gallons per day, which exceeds the utility’s production capacity by 300,000 gallons. To maintain a sustainable water supply, we need to reduce consumption by 30% or 300,000 gallons daily.
Your cooperation is vital. By working together, we can ensure there is enough water to meet essential needs and protect our community’s future.
