The Mayor read the following media advisory:
“Citizens Urged to Voluntarily Conserve Water
Extreme heat, high usage leads to low water pressure throughout Laredo Entertainment Center
Laredo residents are being asked to voluntarily refrain from watering their lawns during the day.
Residents are asked to water their lawns between 8:00 p.m. – 8:00 a.m. only.
“During this period of extreme heat, we are asking residents to help ease some of the low water pressure faced in certain areas of the city, and not water their lawns during the day” said Larry Dovalina, City Manager.
Summer is typically when water consumption increases. Increased development throughout the city has also contributed to the high water demand, which has created areas throughout Laredo where residents are facing low water pressure, and on occasion, no water at all.
The City of Laredo Utilities Department is working to address the issue throughout Laredo. It is important to recognize that this is simply a voluntary request to help with the high usage the department is facing.”
Larry Dovalina, City Manager, said that the residents that are typically experiencing low water pressure are some of the areas where the City has a great deal of construction taking place. The City of Laredo Fire department had 42 grass fires during the Fourth of July which also weakened the water pressure. He also added that people need to be cognizant of their actions and to consider the repercussions of their thoughtlessness when they continue to violate the law by the use of fireworks. At some point in time the City needs to include the County in and ordinance or some other power to completely restrict the sale of fireworks.
