Due to ongoing drought conditions, The City of Wilber is initiated Stage 1 water conservation measures by implementing voluntary utility water conservation measures. If conditions worsen, it may require the City to implement mandatory water use restrictions. Effective immediately, the following voluntary water use restrictions are in place:

????????? ????? ??? ℝ??????????? ℕ?? ?? ℙ????:

? On odd number days, odd number houses water. On even number days, even number houses water.

? If you have underground sprinklers that can be set, we ask that you water throughout the night to reduce water usage during the day.

? If you are home throughout the day, try to spread water usage throughout the day and night. We are seeing the highest usage in the mornings when people are getting ready for work and watering yards before it gets hot. We need to see a reduction during this time.

? Minimize or discontinue water use for non-essential purposes.

? Check for and repair all leaks, dripping faucets, and running toilets.

Thank you for your cooperation – residents will be notified when these restrictions are no longer required or if conditions warrant additional conservation measures. Notifications will be posted at the City Office, Banks, the City of Wilber website and Facebook page. We will also put a notice in the paper.

General upkeep of your property not only keeps things looking nice, but it is also a requirement of living within city limits. It’s important to show pride in our town and its general appearance to visitors and residents alike. Therefore, there are a few ordinances in place that help to do this.

The current drought conditions have an impact on all of us in some way. There are many towns and cities around us that have implemented water restrictions and though this is not something that the City of Wilber plans to put in place at this time, it is something that could potentially happen if conditions do not improve. Therefore, we wanted to share the ordinance below with our residents so you are informed should something ever have to be put in place.

This ordinance covers drought conditions, regular maintenance to the town’s water system, or any other instance deemed an emergency by the Mayor.

?-??? ????????? ????? ??????????; ??????????? ?? ????? ?????; ??????????? ?? ????? ?? ?????????

(1) The City reserves the right to suspend the use of water for fountains, or for sprinkling yards, lawns, and gardens or for any other purpose whenever in the opinion of the Mayor the public exigency may require it. The Mayor is authorized and empowered to declare the existence of any emergency relating to the available water supply of the Municipal water system, and to impose restrictions on the use of water during such emergency. Whenever the Mayor shall determine that the remaining available water supply is critically low, from whatever cause, the Mayor may declare the existence of an emergency and impose reasonable restrictions on the use of such water. It shall be unlawful for any person to fail to observe any such restriction so imposed by the Mayor, provided public announcement of such restriction has been made. (2) The City may turn off the water supplied to the premises of any person who, after having been notified of the imposition of such emergency restrictions on the use of water, disregards such restrictions, and such supply of water shall not again be turned on until the cost for turning the water off and turning the water on has been paid to the municipality.
