[ARCHIVED] Limited Water Use as a Preventative Measure

Limited Water Use

Attention: For the next 48 hours, limited water use declared! Please refrain from all unnecessary water use to allow the tanks to refill. If limited water use is not followed, our tanks could drain and cause another Boil Water Advisory.

    Under limited water use, the restrictions are: 

  • •Short showers as necessary
  • •Maximum 1 load of laundry per day per family, only necessary items
  • •Washing dishes with the minimum amount of water; dishwasher only when full 
  • •No outdoor irrigation.

As we are attaching the spring lines to our new pipeline, we are receiving very turbid water. Our treatment process has slowed down significantly, and we cannot put out the normal amount of treated water to the community. We have all hands on deck to clean the filters and keep the water flowing. We expect the turbidity to reduce over the weekend and will keep you informed. 

We will do another live video on Monday morning, and will answer questions you submit over the weekend. Please submit them to crelations@rawlinswy.gov by Monday morning at 8am.
