The Department of Water Supply is reminding North Kona customers about the ongoing water restriction.

Due to ongoing repairs to wells in North Kona, a water restriction notice remains in effect.

Customers are required to reduce water consumption by 25%.

Ways to conserve water to reach the 25% goal include:

• Stop lawn sprinkling.

• Stop car and boat washing.

• Stop dust control watering.

• Wash only full loads of laundry or dishes at a time.

• Check faucets and pipes for leaks.

• Serve drinking water only when requested.

• Keep a container of drinking water in the refrigerator. Use drinking water wisely.

• Do not let water run unnecessarily. Shut the water off when you wash or brush your

teeth. Use a glass to rinse when brushing your teeth.

• When bathing or showering, use water only to wet and rinse off.

• Do not fill up the bathtub.

• Do not flush toilets unnecessarily.

All agricultural users should keep water usage to a minimum. Irrigate only at night from 8 p.m. to

6 a.m. This measure will reduce water loss due to evaporation, and minimize water system usage

during peak demand.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in using water efficiently at this time.
