Public Notice – Stage II Drought Emergency Proclamation
UPDATE 3/21/2024
Although Clinton County was removed from Drought status by the PA Department of Environmental Protection, the water system that serves the city and Suburban’s customers continues to remain vulnerable due to construction at its Ohl dam. In order to complete the construction, the city had to discharge 36 days’ worth of water. Until construction is complete, the system will only have only about 5 months of water capacity in the system, making it still susceptible to draught if there is a lack of rain. An inch of rain is about a day and half of water for the system, but a lack of rainfall will quickly deplete the system, forcing the area back into water restrictions.
For that reason, customers of the city and Suburban are still being asked to voluntarily reduce water use by 10%, about 6-9 gallons a day. Spending 1 minute less in the shower, capturing water in a pitcher while waiting for the hot water in the kitchen sink, installing a rain barrel to use to water plants… these small steps help conserve the water we all need to live and work in Clinton County. Plus, using less water saves you money because we are all charged for each gallon of water we use. Using less helps us all make sure we have enough water while construction is completed, but it also good for your wallet.
