Ongoing dry conditions have prompted the City of Clarendon to remind residents that a Stage 3 drought condition does still exist and to ask everyone to be conservation minded when it comes to water.
“We know the residents of Clarendon have already reduced their water use, and the city appreciates the conservative nature of our community,” City Administrator David Dockery said. “People know what ‘dry’ is.”
Stage 3 drought condition guidelines encourage water conservation with certain requests of local citizens.
Limit outside watering to twice-a-week, and then before 10:00 am and after 7:00 pm.
Residential customers with odd-numbered street addresses water on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Residential customers with even-numbered street addresses water on Thursdays and Sundays. Commercial customers water on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Limit washing of motor vehicles, motorbikes, boats, and other vehicles at home to before 10:00 am or after 7:00 pm on your designated watering day, and then use a bucket and/or a hand-held hose equipped with a shut-off nozzle. Commercial car washes are excepted.
Avoid filling swimming pools except during the above watering hours.
Avoid operating ornamental fountains unless necessary to support aquatic life or if equipped with a recirculation system.
Do not water-wash driveways, sidewalks, and other hard-surfaced areas. Do not wash down buildings or structures except for immediate fire protection.
Repair all leaks as soon as possible, and report any leaks or unauthorized usage to City Hall. Night and weekend emergency leaks should be reported to the Donley County Sheriff’s Office at 806.874.3533.
