City Wide Clean Up Scheduled
Water Tower Update
The water tower painting project is over 1/2 way to completion. We hope that winds stay down, and weather cooperates, so things continue to move smoothly.
Once the painting is complete, it will take a few days to fill the water tower back up. Water levels will be reassessed at time to determine what restrictions will be lifted. At this time, the plan is still for two weeks of even number houses watering on even numbered days and odd numbered houses, watering on odd numbered days. 
We cannot thank our residents enough for your patience with us through this process. This information will be posted on our website as well for those that do not have Facebook.

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.
