Voluntary Water Restriction Now in Effect

August 10, 2018

August 10, 2018

Due to hot, dry conditions a voluntary water restriction is now in effect for the Town of Pincher Creek.   We are asking residents and businesses to cautiously consume water and to be mindful of your watering choices.

To be proactive and good environmental stewards the Town has reduced the watering and irrigation schedule as of August 7.  We are hoping the reduction in draw will have a positive effect and set the stage for the community watching their water consumption.

The Town of Pincher Creek has taken the following steps to reduce consumption.
