Welcome to the Prudence Island Water District Web Site

AS OF SATURDAY, JULY 17, 2010, STAGE 3 CONSERVATION RESTRICTIONS ARE IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Watering of lawns, landscaping, shrubs or trees, gardens, use of power washers and washing of vehicles prohibited. A special permit may be issued by the PIWD to allow for watering of newly planted lawns and shrubs or trees for a limited time.
Vegetable gardens may be watered Tuesday through Thursday only. Watering hours are early morning (before 9 a.m.) or late evening (after 7 p.m.) only. A limited number of special permits may be issued for weekend vegetable garden watering on a case by case basis, by the PIWD Operations Manager or the Board. Permitted watering shall be by hand held hose or container only. All hoses must be equipped with an automatic shutoff device. Filling of ponds, pools, hot tubs and similar equipment shall not be permitted under any circumstances.

In July, our community water system pumped an astonishing 1.4 million gallons of water - an average of 45,000 gallons per day. Much of this water usage is related to the recent heat wave. We understand that in hot weather, people take more showers and do their laundry more frequently, but we urge you to conserve water whenever possible, as the system is nearly at maximum pumping capacity

The district's Consumer Confidence Report for 2009 has been completed and mailed to water service customers. You can also download a copy of the report at this link.
