Mandatory water conservation for Harrisonburg?


Mandatory water conservation for Harrisonburg?
By Scott Rogers • December 6, 2008
A week or so ago I noticed an announcement on the City of Harrisonburg's web site stating that voluntary water conservation was in effect. I was a bit intrigued, but I couldn't find too many details explaining our current water situation. However, WHSV ran a story yesterday indicating that mandatory water conservation might soon be in effect. Apparently, Switzer Reservoir currently has 568 million gallons of water, and if the reservoir drops below 510 million gallons, it would trigger mandatory water conservation. From WHSV . . . "In mandatory conservation, you can't use more than three gallons of water to wash your car or water your lawn. You can't use a decorative fountain in your garden. Restaurants also aren't supposed to serve you water at a restaurant unless you ask." Thankfully most of us probably aren't planning to wash our car, water our lawn or fill our garden fountains anytime soon!
