Lowville, NY- The Village of
Lowville has once again issued a Water Watch for users of the water system,
meaning that residents and businesses are asked to voluntarily take water
conservation measures as the system gets replenished.
DPW
Superintendent Paul Denise tells us that the 3-million
gallon, 20 foot water storage tank has fallen to a level between
12-14 feet, prompting the watch.
Mr. Denise said
Kraft Heinz, the largest water customer, has been using over 1 million
gallons per day, while the system is only permitted to filter 1.5 million
gallons per day. All of the remaining water
customers combined, including the hospital, other manufacturers and all
residents, typically use about 350,000 gallons per day, Mr. Denise said.
In
order to prevent the need for another mandatory conserve water order, Mr.
Denise is asking that users of the system be conscious of their usage and
avoid using unnecessary water at this time.
