West Springs, May 1, 2024 - At a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees, the Board considered several options that would reduce the strain on water treatment operations during the peak summer months. The increase in demand for water puts additional stress on the overall treatment process, requiring frequent replacement of membrane cartridges and a higher dosage of chemicals.

On April 22, 2024, the Board of Trustees voted to implement annual outdoor watering restrictions during the peak summer months. "The increase in demand for water puts additional stress on the overall treatment process, requiring frequent replacement of membrane cartridges and a higher dosage of chemicals," stated the Board of Trustees.
