Even though we’ve had rain, the Seattle Regional Water System continues to face a potential water shortage. We are asking customers to voluntarily reduce your water use. This will help stretch the region’s water supply for people 和 fish until our mountain reservoirs refill to the necessary levels. Even seemingly small daily actions can add up to make a big impact.
访问 Seattle Public Utilities’ blog to keep up with the latest water supply information, including how the region is doing to meet our 100 million gallons per day goal.
