NOTICE
FOR RURAL WATER DISTRICT #3 MEMBERS
Please
be aware that drought conditions are affecting the water levels at Cheney
Reservoir. This affects us directly. We buy our
water from the city of Wichita and Wichita gets its drinking water from two
main sources: Cheney Reservoir and the Equus Beds Aquifer.
Wichita
is implementing Stage 2 of their Drought Response Plan. We must support
and conform to their efforts. Please note that this does not yet
trigger any rate changes for us, but if Wichita changes the water rates to
their “Uniform Wholesale” customers that would affect us. Let’s help
avoid that! The target is at least a 10% reduction in water used. Below
are some required changes. Please do your part to help make sure
this does not become an emergency.
- Reduce
outdoor irrigation now – limit watering to 1 time per week
- Water
just enough to keep root systems alive; allow lawns to go dormant
- Only
water between hours of 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM
- Do
not over-seed lawns or plant new trees or shrubs this fall
- Suspend
all planting of new trees and ornamentals
- Turf
watering restricted to one day a week
As a
final note, please be aware that if you are within city limits you then you
will be affected by their codes and penalties.
