Bartonville Water Supply Corporation Emergency Water Demand Management Plan
Bartonville Water Supply Corporation’s four (4) Stage Emergency Water Demand Management Plan is an attempt to distribute water adequately and equally to each Member/Customer during times when the supply may be low due to weather conditions and/or mechanical failures. Please keep this information for your reference. Become familiar with the Emergency Water Demand Management Plan and comply with the Stages as stated.
The four (4) Stages of the Emergency Water Demand Management Plan are:
| STAGE 1 | GREEN | VOLUNTARY |
| STAGE 2 | YELLOW | EVERY OTHER DAY, BASED ON ODD/EVEN DIGITS OF ADDRESS/CALENDER DAYS |
| STAGE 3 | ORANGE | DESIGNATED ZONE WATERING |
| STAGE 4 | RED | OUTSIDE WATERING PROHIBITED |
 |
Members will observe color-coded signs that are located at the following major entrances and access roads for stage changes. Please see sign location map.
Your cooperation is the key to the success or failure of the Emergency Water Demand Management Plan. Please set a good example by following the plan and encourage your neighbors to water on their designated days. If everyone complies, no family should be without water for basic needs at any time. |
