Domestic water is currently being provided from the City\u2019s four wells, but the combined capacity of the wells is limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the current forecast of additional thunder showers in the Cascades, it may be days before the Naches River has cleared enough for the WTP to begin producing potable water again.&nbsp; Coupled with the temperature forecast of mid-90\u2019s for the Yakima area into early next week, it will be challenging for the wells to keep up with system demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCustomers are being asked to cut back on their domestic water use where possible until we are able to begin operating the WTP again,\u201d said Water\/Irrigation Manager Mike Shane. \u201cAnything customers can do, such as cutting back on lawn and landscape irrigation, will help avoid over-taxing the system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideas for conserving water can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/water-irrigation\/drought-conservation\/\">https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/water-irrigation\/drought-conservation\/<\/a>.
