PLEASE CONSERVE WATER FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS due to major weather event beginning today, Saturday, February 17^th through Wednesday, February 21^st.

Again, it sounds counter-intuitive when there is so much rain, but Chemeketa Park Mutual Water Company cannot pump water from our source during rain events. The water has too much “turbidity”. It’s brown and dirty. So, we have to purchase water from San Jose Water Company.

The issue is….we cannot pump as much water when we are on the Montevina Pipeline (San Jose Water) so our supply is more limited. Our water storage cannot keep up unless we CONSERVE.

Thank you for understanding. Be prepared and stay safe. This is another strong group of storms.

Thank you.
