Effective June 23 , 2022
    , the City’s daily water demand has exceeded 60% of current capacity . The City of Minden has declared a
   Stage 1 Water Watch
    , until otherwise notified .
   Per City Code , Sec . 86 - 190 , the goal of a Stage 1 Water Watch is to raise both awareness regarding water conditions and to encourage the public to
   voluntarily reduce class 1 water uses by 7%
    . Class 1 uses are water used for outdoor watering including lawns and washing of vehicles or other exterior items . To put this into perspective , reducing your lawn watering cycle by 5 minutes would help the city achieve this goal .
   If water usage continues to increase , the water conservation could be increased to a stage 2 or 3 .
   Stage 2: Water Warning                                                                  Stage 3: Water Emergency
       
   Staggered Outdoor Watering Schedule                                            No outdoor watering
       
   Reduce Usage by 15% of outdoor watering
