WATER SUPPLY VOLUNTARY CURTAILMENT - “REDUCE YOUR USE”

Wednesday, August 26, 2015

On August 11, 2015 the regions water suppliers, including Skyway Water and Sewer District, asked their customers to voluntarily reduce their water use by 10% to stretch water supplies for people and fish until the rainy season arrives.  Over the past two weeks, the region collectively reduced water use by 10%, meeting the goal set by the Cities of Seattle, Tacoma and Everett.  We want to thank our customers for their part in meeting this goal and ask that you continue to limit your use of water.     

Skyway Water and Sewer District has three sources of water: Cascade Water Alliance (Seattle Public Utilities), City of Renton and District wells.   As a member of Cascade Water Alliance, Skyway joined Seattle Public Utilities, Tacoma Water and the City of Everett in declaring a water advisory in July, followed by Voluntary Water Curtailment beginning August 11th.  With continued record-setting hot and dry weather, Skyway is asking residents and businesses to continue to limit your use of water.   

Here are ways you can “reduce your use”. 

• Reduce your showering time

• Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes

• Let your lawn go dormant.

• Water only plants, and only twice each week.

• Water outdoor plants before 8 AM or after 7 PM.

• Check for and fix leaks, including checking for toilets with silent leaks
