Urgent Request in Iberville Parish: Essential Water Use Only 🚨

Urgent Request: Essential Water Use Only 🚨

Our water system is experiencing significant strain due to increased demand. To ensure water availability for everyone and avoid further disruptions, we need your help:
💧 Turn Off Dripping Faucets – During the day, as temperatures rise and the sun is out, dripping is not necessary. Resume dripping only when temperatures drop again tonight.
💧 Limit Water Use – Avoid doing laundry, running dishwashers, or using excess water for non-essential tasks.

Your conservation efforts are critical to:
✅ Preventing a Boil Water Advisory
✅ Ensuring Water for Fire Protection
✅ Increasing System Storage for All Residents

Thank you for working together to protect our water supply! Every small step makes a big difference.
