Alcoa/Maryville Phase III - Mandatory Water Restrictions

Submitted by bizgrrl on Tue, 10/02/2007 - 06:18.

Little River water levels continue to drop, 23 cubic feet per second (cfs) for Aloca and 38 for Maryville.

Maryville public information officer Pam Arnett reported Little River water levels have stayed consistent at 38 cfs. Whereas, Alcoa's level has dropped from 25 to 23. Does this mean Maryville is not conserving enough water?

According to today's Maryville Daily Times, Phase III of water restrictions are in effect and the water usage restrictions are getting tougher, no car washing at all, nurseries, landscape facilities must stop using city water for irrigation.

How low will it go? Shall we start a pool?

NO - what it meant was that our water monitoring equipment was wrong! Seems to me anyone with half a brain would have looked at those numbers and questioned Maryville's readings
