High Water Use Reported During Hot/Dry Spell

Fairhope, Alabama 

 

 

NO RESTRICTIONS THOUGH

In a press release this morning, the city asked residents/water customers to try to irrigate lawns during non-peak hours to maintain adequate system pressure. 

Dry weather associated with the hurricane on the east coast is expected to continue for a while.

Mayor Sullivan: "Please remember we are not asking people to limit water use, just refrain from irrigating during times of high-water usage. We have not had much rain in the past couple of weeks and temps are hitting almost 100 every day. 

(This is not a phase one alert, as was the case last summer.)

City's total water used this week:

8/1-8,131,000

8/2-8,264,000

8/3- 8,073,000

8/4-8,007,000
