Notice of Water Shutoff: Rationing Begins July 14th
Due to the worsening water storage conditions in Collins Lake, the water will be shut off three days each week beginning July 14th. From that point and for the foreseeable future, water rationing will consist of the irrigation system being completely turned off Monday, Tuesday and Wendesday of each week. The Board expressed thanks to the water users for their water conservation efforts so far this year, but feel that this next step is necessary to insure that there will be atleast some supplies in Collins Lake at the end of the irrigation season. You are advised to prepare for this shutoff if you have any situations where no water for several days could be critical.
