Kalama Water Restrictions

TO ALL KALAMA RESIDENTS

PLEASE SUSPEND ALL YARD WATERING, CAR WASHING AND OTHER NON-ESSENTIAL WATER USAGE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Due to the prolonged dry, hot weather, Kalama water usage is exceeding the ability to keep the two million gallon reservoir filled. Normally the City keeps the reservoir level at thirty to thirty-four (30-34) feet.

Today the reservoir level is at twenty-five (25) feet and dropping, even though it is pumping at capacity 24 hours a day.

The weather forecast is for continued hot temperatures.

WE ALSO REQUEST THAT YOU REDUCE NON-ESSENTIAL LAUNDRY AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD WATER USAGE.

Kalama Public Works can be reached at 360-673-4554 or 360-673-3706 for questions. Thank you for your cooperation to avoid a complete water outage.
