Irrigation down 30% after new restrictions and monthly billing, staff reports
Summary
Public works reported irrigation use dropped from about 360,000 gallons (June 26–July 2) to around 215,000 gallons (July 10–16), a roughly 30% reduction following new restrictions and billing changes.
Paul Johnson reported that irrigation use fell noticeably after the town implemented new restrictions and moved to monthly billing. He said irrigation was roughly 360,000 gallons for June 26–July 2 and fell to about 215,000 gallons from July 10–16, a reduction of about 30%.
Staff credited a combination of enforcement, targeted outreach and the gardening crew’s conservation measures for the decrease. Trustees urged continued outreach to second-home owners and HOAs to reduce confusion about watering schedules and to ensure public understanding before the new rates take effect in August.
