Conway Corp Announces Mandatory Water Curtailment
Residents served by Conway Corp are bracing for a mandatory water curtailment slated to begin this Friday, September 13, at 8 a.m. This measure aims to address the pressing issue of water scarcity in the region.
Following the declaration of a drought worse than the Drought of Record, the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) has triggered mandatory curtailment, which will impact firm water customers such as cities and water districts. The LCRA Board has deemed this drastic measure necessary due to the severe drought conditions, with the current drought meeting the thresholds of lasting at least 24 consecutive months and exhibiting a drought intensity greater than the Drought of Record.
The extreme situation has prompted the LCRA to implement pro rata curtailment, where all firm water customers must reduce their water use by the same percentage. Initially, this reduction will be a minimum of 20%, with the possibility of further adjustment as the drought escalates. This measure ensures that all customers contribute equally to conserving this vital resource.
In response, Conway Corp has issued a notice to its customers, urging them to suspend all non-essential water use during the curtailment period. This move is designed to mitigate the potential risks associated with such a severe drought event. The utility provider will compare each customer’s actual water use to their quarterly allotments, with penalties in store for those who exceed their authorized amounts.
As the situation unfolds, Conway Corp will continue to monitor and adapt to the changing conditions. Residents are advised to be vigilant in their water usage and follow any updates or guidelines provided by the utility company. In a time of prolonged water scarcity, every little effort counts in protecting this vital resource for the community.
