Water Restrictions set to Expire Friday

Water restrictions have been in place since June 20th, and the Stevensville Public Works Department has determined that water restrictions can be lifted effective 12:01a.m. Friday, July 5th.

Standard watering regulations will remain in effect, however. Standard sprinkler regulations will continue be enforced and residents and businesses are required to set their sprinkler timers to water within the allowed days and times. Those who begin watering on Friday, must comply with the above regulations. 

Crews are completing the install of a well pump Wednesday, bringing the total number of pumps back on the system to four. Development and rehabilitation of the 5th well is scheduled to occur within the next week. 

Effective at 7:00pm on Tuesday, residents could continue HAND WATERING outdoor plants. The use of sprinklers is still prohibited until Friday at 12:01am. Residents found to be running sprinklers before the restrictions are completely lifted will be warned subject to disconnection. The Town plans to phase out the existing restrictions as equipment comes on-line to prevent over-working the system in periods of high demand.
