The problem
Drought conditions and supply chain issues delaying the renovation of the Caney River Pump Station
Easiest ways to make a difference
40 percent of household water use is flushing the toilet. Don’t use the toilet for anything other than human waste and toilet paper! And a running toilet can use as much as 200 gallons of water per hour, running your bill UP and the overall water supply DOWN. Replace any defective parts.
Shortening your shower by just a couple of minutes can save more water than you think.
Turn off the water anytime you’re not using it!
*Average annual water use for the area is 5-6 millions of gallons of water per day (mgd), with usage spiking as high as 12 mgd during the summer months and dipping to 3-4 mgd during the winter.
