 Bayfield water limits and San Ignacio Fiesta
7/23/2010 By: Times staff
Bayfield starting outdoor watering restrictions
Times staff report
The Town of Bayfield is imposing restrictions on the use of municipal water for landscaping. Watering with municipal water will not be allowed between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily.
Additionally, residents and businesses will be restricted from watering certain days. Odd numbered addresses will be allowed to water on odd numbered calendar days and even numbered addresses will be allowed to water on even numbered calendar days.
The restrictions are imposed due the unusually dry and hot summer. The Pine River has gone “on call,” which means many of the Town’s water rights will not be available for water treatment.
The town purchases storage water from the Pine River Irrigation District to ensure there is adequate water during dry spells. However, the town needs to protect against excessive use, which could require the town to purchase more water, which in turn can affect water rates.
The restrictions do not apply to residents using irrigation water.
Residents who violated the water restrictions will be given one courtesy warning. If violations continue, residents will be issued fines on their next water bill. Continued violations can lead to water being shut off.
Public Works Director Ron Saba says, “We understand that it’s inconvenient to follow the water restrictions. We only do this when it’s absolutely necessary. Ultimately, we’re really just looking out for the ratepayer.”
110th annual San Ignacio Fiesta set for July 24-25
