WHEN THE NAVY RESERVOIR IS AT FIVE FEET BELOW THE 10-YEAR AVERAGE RESERVOIR ELEVATION, NAVY WATER PRODUCTION RATE IS BETWEEN 3,750 AND 5,000 GPM, OR NAVY POTABLE WATER STORAGE VOLUME IS BETWEEN 11 TO 14 MILLION GALLONS, WATER CONSERVATION LEVEL (WCL) III IS DECLARED.
BECAUSE THE RESERVOIR IS NOW BELOW THE SET LEVEL, WCL III IS SET AND THE FOLLOWING WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES ARE DIRECTED:
LAWNS, SHRUBS, FLOWER BEDS ETC. MAY BE WATERED FOR NO MORE THAN ONE HOUR BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 1900-0800.
FLUSHING DECKS, DRIVEWAYS, PARKING AREAS/APRONS, ETC. IS PROHIBITED.
OPERATIONAL, COMMERCIAL, AND PRIVATELY OWNED VEHICLE WASHING IS PROHIBITED.
COMMAND/ACTIVITY SPONSORED CAR WASHES ARE PROHIBITED.
DO OPERATE WASHING MACHINES AND DISHWASHERS ONLY WHEN FULL.
DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY WHEN WASHING DISHES, SHAVING, WASHING HANDS, BRUSHING TEETH, OR TAKING SHOWERS.
DO NOT USE THE TOILET AS A TRASH CAN, AS EACH FLUSH USES ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF GALLONS OF WATER.
DO PLACE A CLEAN TRASH CONTAINER UNDER ROOF EVES, WINDOW A/C UNITS, AND DRAIN SPOUTS TO COLLECT RAIN WATER FOR WATERING PLANTS, WASHING CARS, ETC. WHEN NOT IN USE, COVER TIGHTLY WITH A LID TO MINIMIZE INSECTS OR DIRT.
DO REPORT ALL DEFECTIVE PLUMBING FIXTURES (LEAKING FAUCETS, TOILETS, SHOWER HEADS ETC.) IN NAVY HOUSING AND FACILITIES, AS WELL AS ANY EXTERIOR LEAKS TO THE SERVICE DESK. THE HOUSING SERVICE CALL DESK IS AT 671-649-9572/9573. ALL OTHER SERVICE CALLS SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TROUBLE DESK AT 671-333-2011.
WATER CONSUMPTION AND THE RESERVOIR LEVEL WILL BE MONITORED DAILY BY NAVAL BASE GUAM PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. IF WATER CONSUMPTION IS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED BY THESE MEASURES, AND RAINFALL DOES NOT INCREASE, MORE STRINGENT CONSERVATION MEASURES MAY BE IMPOSED. IN THE EVENT THAT WCLII IS REACHED, FORCED WATER OUTAGES MAY BE REQUIRED. UPDATES TO OUR CURRENT WATER SUPPLY SITUATION WILL BE ISSUED AS CONDITIONS CHANGE. CDOS WILL MONITOR WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES DURING WATCH.
