If we do not reduce usage immediately, we risk running out of water for essential services. Action required to save water now: 🚿 Limit showers to 3 minutes 🚽 Flush only when necessary 🍽️ Run dishwashers and laundry only when full

As many people return to work & school today, we know that demand will spike further. Hold off on catching up on post-holiday laundry. Wash what is essential & make sure to do full loads only. Ensure your family is taking short showers and flushing only when necessary.
