Mayor Fender concurred. Councilmember Ryon informed of questions she has received from her constituents of why more stringent water restrictions have not be imposed. She noted that her response has been that if the water is not used, evaporation will occur. Councilmember Ryon asked for a more fact based explanation to this question. Mr. Adams informed that such action is based on a policy decision.
Policy measures the current supply status with the conservation issues.
The current supply is sufficient to meet the needs of the community. Additional conservation restrictions may be more severe than the current situation demands. Councilmember Ryon expressed her concerns that some citizens are not doing all that they could do to conserve water and made a personal plea to all citizens in this regard. She asked that the issue be publicized to give meaningful information and suggestions to those who feel that if they pay for additional water, there should not be a problem with their water usage. Mr. Adams informed that code enforcement officers are gearing up to enforce water restrictions and to make more people aware of the seriousness of the situation.
