Emergency Stage 1 Water Conservation Notice

Effective Immediately

Due to the ongoing wildfire emergency impacting the Timber Cove community, Timber Cove County Water District is implementing a Stage 1 Water Conservation Notice for all customers within the affected service area.

The District's water system is currently supporting active fire suppression efforts. Fire personnel are utilizing District hydrants to protect lives, homes, and critical infrastructure. This extraordinary demand, combined with current operational challenges caused by the wildfire and power outages, has significantly impacted available water supplies in portions of the system.

At this time, the District's water treatment plant is without commercial power. District staff are working diligently to safely access the facility and restore operations using emergency generator power as soon as conditions allow.

Mandatory Water Conservation

All customers are asked to immediately reduce water use by at least 10%.

Please:

• Use water only for essential indoor needs.
• Do not irrigate landscaping or wash vehicles.
• Avoid any unnecessary outdoor water use.
• Postpone any non-essential water-consuming activities until the emergency has passed.

Evacuation Reminder

The affected area remains under a Mandatory Evacuation Order issued by emergency authorities.

Conserving water allows firefighters to maintain the water supply needed to protect the community.

The District appreciates your cooperation, patience, and understanding as our operators and emergency responders work under extremely challenging conditions.

If conditions change or additional conservation measures become necessary, updated information will be provided as soon as possible.

For questions, please contact Melany Collett at 707-694-6074 

Thank you for helping conserve water and supporting our firefighters during this emergency.
