Prairie City declares water emergency
Only ‘essential
use’ allowed
Blue Mountain Eagle
Prairie City Mayor Jim
Hamsher has declared a water
supply emergency with man-
datory restrictions on water
use. Prairie City Municipal
Code authorizes the city to
limit water usage to “essential
use” — consumption, sanita-
tion and fire emergencies —
only, according to an Aug. 6
statement from Hamsher.
“All use of water for other
purposes is prohibited at all
times during this emergency,”
Hamsher said. “That includes
but is not limited to: all irriga-
tion; washing vehicles, side-
walks or other hard surface
areas and structures; filling or
refilling pools, ponds or stor-
age tanks.”
Continued use of city wa-
ter for non-essential purposes
will result in citations, he said.
