With this in mind, the District asks that you limit your water use during this timeframe while PG&E undertakes repairs and improvements.

Without water flowing in the ditches, the only water available is what remains in storage tanks and from groundwater wells. Conservation during this period will help provide adequate water supply for drinking, sanitary usage and fire protection.
