The Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) has activated Stage 1 (Alert) of the City of Fayetteville’s Water Shortage Response Ordinance effective immediately. Stage 1 is voluntary and asks customers to reduce non-essential water use to help protect the community’s water supply for drinking, sanitation and fire protection.
During Stage 1, customers are encouraged to do the following:
“Small conservation steps made by many can make a big difference,” said CEO/General Manager of Fayetteville PWC Timothy Bryant, in a press release. “These voluntary measures help save the water supply for essential needs like drinking water, sanitation, and fire protection while PWC continues to provide safe, reliable, and affordable service to the community.”
Water shortage conditions are managed in defined stages, with conservation measures increasing if conditions worsen and easing step-by-step if conditions improve.
The ordinance restrictions apply to treated water provided by Fayetteville PWC. Well water use is allowed during all stages. For updates, links to conservation tips, and a full list of measures by stage, visit www.FayPWC.com/Water-Shortage-Response/.
