City of Ocala Urges Residents to Reduce Water Consumption

Post Date:01/07/2022 3:00 PM

OCALA, Fla. (Jan. 7, 2022) – The City of Ocala’s Water Resources Department is urging residents to reduce their water consumption for the week of Jan. 10 due to required maintenance on one of the two-million-gallon ground storage tanks located at the Water Treatment Plant, 1808 NE 36th Ave. The tanks assist with the City of Ocala water demands throughout the day. The expected completion date is Sunday, Jan. 16. Although this request is for a specific time frame, customers are encouraged to practice water conservation techniques every day. 

Ways to reduce your water consumption include shortening your shower time, reducing or ceasing your irrigation times and only washing full loads of laundry. For more water saving tips please visit: https://www.ocalafl.org/government/city-departments-i-z/water-resources/water-conservation.
