https://news.ntmwd.com/ntmwd-requests-immediate-curtailment-of-non-essential-water-use
Please follow these curtailment measures to ensure continued water services.
Immediate curtailment measures include:
- Isolate any water leaks immediately
- Do not hoard water
- Do not wash clothes or dishes, wash only when necessary
- Delay showers and only hand-bathe when necessary
- When possible, do not drip your faucets
- If you must drip or stream your faucet, collect the water for other use such as filling toilets, washing dishes, etc.
- Do not use the garbage disposal, place food scraps in garbage can, (composting is a great alternative)
- Turn off the water to brush teeth, shave and soap up in the shower
- Ensure that hose bibs and faucets are protected from freezing weather
- Locate and repair any water leaks
- When cooking, peel and clean vegetables in a large bowl instead of under running water
The District continues coordination efforts with cities and water utilities to ensure our ability to meet the water demand for essential services.
