In response to the ongoing drought conditions, the Summertown Utility District has enacted immediate mandatory water restrictions. These measures are designed to conserve water and ensure that essential needs are met during this critical period. Under the new guidelines, residents are prohibited from watering lawns and gardens, washing vehicles or equipment, and filling swimming pools.
Additionally, it is imperative that any leaks in plumbing systems be repaired without delay. The focus during this time should be on using water strictly for essential activities, which include cooking, bathing, and laundering clothes. Residents are urged to adhere to these restrictions for the coming weeks, as the situation remains fluid and dependent on weather conditions.
The Summertown Utility District will provide updates regarding the status of these restrictions and will notify the community when they are lifted. For further details and ongoing updates, residents can visit the Summertown Utility District’s official Facebook page and website. Your cooperation is crucial in helping to manage our water resources effectively during this challenging time.
