The city is experiencing high water usage which exceeds the amount provided by Cass Rural Water causing the water tower levels to drop. Residents are asked to conserve water as much as possible over the next few days so levels can recover. The situation will continue to be monitored and if no improvement is seen a watering ban may be declared.
The annual Water Restriction Policy is:
Every year beginning April 15, each residence with an even house number can water lawns and gardens on even-numbered days, and each residence with an odd house number can water lawns and gardens on odd-numbered days. The only exception to this rule is newly-planted or sodded lawns, which can be watered daily for the first two weeks after planting or sodding. This restriction will end October 31 of each year.
During a water emergency situation, as determined by the public works supervisor or the mayor, the following restrictions will go into effect:
No watering of lawns and gardens (both vegetable and floral).
No washing of vehicles, sidewalks or driveways.
Limit household water usage.
