Following a drier-than-normal winter season, the Town of Dillon is preparing to implement water conservation measures to help protect our local water supply through the coming months. A reduced snowpack and below-average precipitation means we must take proactive steps now to ensure adequate resources for our community and environment.
In the coming weeks, the Town will introduce water restrictions designed to reduce overall consumption while maintaining essential use. These measures may include:
- Outdoor watering schedules for lawns and landscaping
- Restrictions on non-essential water use such as washing driveways and sidewalks
- Encouragement of water-efficient practices for both residential and commercial properties
Snowpack serves as a critical natural reservoir for our region. This year’s lower accumulation means less runoff into Straight Creek and surrounding water systems. We understand that water restrictions can impact daily routines and business operations. Our goal is to work collaboratively with residents and businesses to manage this challenge responsibly and effectively.
Specific guidelines, timelines, and enforcement details will be shared at a later date.
