Water Conservation Advisory
City Encourages Water Conservation and Reduced Irrigation as Temperatures Exceed 80 Degrees

The City of Poulsbo requests all customers make an effort to conserve water and reduce consumption 
during the next two weeks. The peak water usage during the past week has exceeded 2 million gallons 
per day. The heavy usage puts a strain on the water system and we currently have Lincoln Well #1 
undergoing maintenance due to heavy use.
The following conservation actions are requested:
⮚ Peak water usage is from 6am to 9am – if you are able to reduce your consumption during this time 
period it makes a difference
⮚ Water your plants and lawn after 7pm and avoid irrigation during the morning and during heat of 
the day
⮚ If you have an automatic irrigation system, consider setting the time to irrigate during the 
night (10pm to midnight or 2am to 4am)
⮚ Irrigate every other day instead of daily
⮚ Most lawns and plants need approximately 1” of water weekly to survive periods of heat – please 
reduce watering times to provide minimum water.
⮚ Turn off the tap – save water.

Every effort to reduce water usage is appreciated. Please call us at (360) 779-4078 if you have
questions.
