Stage 1 Conservation
The June bills have been mailed and the Stage One water conservation rates will be in effect. What does this mean for you? Not much. Since we use a tiered rate system, the rates in Stage One do not increase until the 18,000 to 24,000 gallon level. Most customers will not see an increase in their bill unless they use a large amount of water, so most customers will not notice the increase. If you use less than 18,000 gallons each billing period, your rates will not increase.
Remember, Stage One is voluntary compliance. We are asking you to conserve water whenever possible. By conserving water voluntarily now, that means there will be more water later and conserving now could possibly mean that moving into Stage 2 could be delayed or possibly avoided altogether. Our goal here at the Pine Cove Water District is to be sure that there is always an adequate amount of water for everyone. If we work together, we can get through these tough water times.
We have water saving kits available here in the office, free to all Pine Cove water customers. Just stop in and ask for yours today. Our office is located at 24917 Marion Ridge Road here in Pine Cove. We are right next to the fire station. Our blog and website also offer many excellent tips and suggestions for saving water indoors as well as outdoors. So we hope you will comply and voluntarily conserve water.
