Polson expands water restrictions, urges conservation

The city of Polson on Saturday implemented additional water restrictions within city limits, prohibiting all “unnecessary use of water,” including watering of yards and green spaces. Also prohibited is the washing of vehicles and other equipment. City staff advise that fresh and sensitive landscaping should be watered only as needed for survival.

“Public Works staff are working diligently to balance water supply and reserve issues throughout the community.” City Manager Ed Meece said in a press release issued Saturday evening. “However, the city of Polson continues to experience low water reserves, due to increased usage, and as a result is implementing emergency water restrictions effective immediately.”

“All city of Polson water customers are strongly encouraged to conserve water in their daily routine as much as possible,” the press release states.
