Press Release City asks Community to Help Conserve Water During Heat Wave City of Leavenworth

The City of Leavenworth has issued a press release calling for community action to conserve water amid a heat wave that has prompted unusually high water usage. The local water plant reported that it produced over 2 million gallons of water on June 28, a volume typically required much later in the summer season. Mayor Florea highlighted the potential risks of continued high temperatures on water supply and urged residents to help by adopting conservation practices. Recommended strategies include limiting irrigation to every other day and watering at cooler times of day to minimize evaporation. The city has already begun reducing water use at parks and other public areas to set an example.

This proactive approach aims to avoid the need for formal water use restrictions, thus ensuring that all residents have access to water for essential needs. For more information, residents can contact Communications Analyst Christie Voos via email or phone. The press release underscores the importance of community cooperation in managing local resources effectively during challenging weather conditions.
