Melbourne Water’s Post

Good news, Melbourne – water storage levels are expected to remain secure for the year ahead, with water restrictions not expected in the coming 12 months. But it’s up to all of us to make every drop count. 📈 Melbourne’s population grew by 140,000 last year, and we’ll need more water than what flows into our dams to keep up with demand. 💧 Melburnians used more water on average this year, with daily usage rising to 163 litres per person, up from 161 litres last year. 🥵 Storage levels can drop quickly if we experience dry spells. Together with Melbourne Water, South East Water, and Yarra Valley Water, we’ve been tracking Greater Melbourne’s water levels, usage and future needs. Learn more 👉 https://bit.ly/3iujFKB

Good to see the assessment for water levels in the year ahead. Important to find out the mix of recycled and desal water use in the system.

Maintaining and upgrading water #infrastructure is essential for reliable service and community health. The U.S. has around 𝟐.𝟐 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬, many of which are aging. Every two minutes, a water main breaks, causing a daily loss of six billion gallons of treated water—enough to fill 𝟗,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬. To address this, the EPA estimates $𝟔𝟐𝟓 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝟐𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 for critical upgrades, including pipes and treatment plants. Utilities One Water is committed to enhancing water infrastructure, with a focus on safety, reliability, and advanced technology. By investing in these systems, we support the health and prosperity of our communities. #UtilitiesOneWater #WaterInfrastructure #CleanWaterForAll

At times, Wheatland County may ask all utility users to temporarily cut back on non-essential outdoor water usage. This might happen when:⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ • There is less water in the rivers due to a drought.⁣⁣ • We are fixing or improving water infrastructure.⁣⁣ • Hot temperatures lead to high water demand, stretching our treatment plants’ capacity.⁣⁣ • The raw water source is less clean than usual, requiring additional time for treatment.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Wheatland County has not currently enforced any Water Restriction Stage. However, we advise water-users to stay alert for potential future restrictions. Updates regarding any imposed restrictions will be communicated via our social media platforms and website.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ To view our Outdoor Water Restriction Guideline, please refer to our website:⁣ https://lnkd.in/gKR9H5E3 ⁣⁣ If we all do our part and follow the restrictions when they are in place, we can reduce the strain on the rivers and water treatment plants.

The Department of Water Resources estimates above-normal water supply conditions for the San Joaquin Valley and the Sacramento Valley according to forecasts released this week. There has not been an above-normal water year since 2005 in the Sacramento Valley and 2010 in the San Joaquin Valley. Since 2000, most years have been critical, dry, or wet.   Stay informed about California's water market with the latest updates by subscribing to our new weekly report at https://lnkd.in/gtNUcKTm #CaliforniaWater #CAWater #WaterMarket #CAWaterMarketReport #WestWaterResearch #WeKnowTheValueOfWater #NQH2O

If water use in Calgary keeps rising, the city may have to enforce mandatory indoor water restrictions, Mayor Jyoti Gondek warned Friday, calling the situation "urgent and catastrophic." Gondek made this announcement during an update on the recent water main break, urging residents to conserve water. "We don't know what mandatory restrictions would look like, and I hope we don't get there," Gondek said. "But if we can't reduce water usage together, we might have to impose restrictions." The Bearspaw south water main, 11 kilometers long and up to two meters wide, broke on June 5, leaving hundreds of homes and businesses in the city's northwest without water. This led to a fire ban and mandatory outdoor water restrictions. Water use has been increasing daily since Saturday, three days after the break. On Thursday, the city used 480 million liters, the sustainable limit. This was slightly less than the previous day's use, but still not enough, according to the mayor. "If our water use keeps increasing and we can't keep up, taps will run dry eventually," Gondek said. There's no timeline for when this might happen or how many days of water supply remain, but the mayor emphasized the urgency. "The more water we use, the sooner we run out," Gondek said. "We can't stop our conservation efforts now. We must do better." Work on the water main paused overnight Wednesday when two workers were injured. Repairs resumed Thursday afternoon. The delay has pushed back the timeline for fully restoring water to the city. On Thursday, Francois Bouchart, director of capital priorities and investment with the city's infrastructure services department, reported progress on the repairs. Crews are also investigating the cause of the break. The main priority remains to restore full water service.
