Abilene has received enough rainfall to
move from mandator) to voluntary
conservation and additional rain could
allow the cit) to reinstate normal water
use said Dwa)ne Hargesheimer
director of water utilities
Abilene uses a five stage program for
water usage said Hargesheimer He
said the cit) had been in stage four
since Sep li Stage four is a restric
live program that disallowed water
usage for such businesses as golf
courses and car washes while limiting
water usage for residents
After the cit) received enough rain
to raise reservoirs more than seven
feet Hargesheimer said Abilene mov
ed to stage two on Jan 10
While under stage two called water
alert citizens and businesses are asked
to cooperate with voluntary conscrva
tion Tor instance local restaurants are
asked to serve water onl) upon re
quest and citizens arc asked to use
care when washing cars or watering
lawns to use onl) as much water as is
needed
ater officials decided to hold ofTon
changing stages until Abilene received
more rainfall so that stage three a less
restrietivc but still mandator) means
ol conservation could be skipped and
the cit) could go directlv to stage two
a voluntar) conservation program
Abilene was under stage three restric
tions from Jul) 24 until Sept 15
Hargesheimer said citizens still are
being asked to conserve water ACU
students hunt off campus should
water onl) ever) five da)s and onl) if
necessar) Watering should be done
during cool hours he said but this is
not a problem during the winter mon
ths OITcampus students ma) also
wash their cars
ACU is asked to follow the same
rules as local residents fountains ma)
be used if the) are filled during cool
hours and water is rcc)clcd ACU also
is asked to water grass ever) five dj)s
and onl) if nccessarv
Abilene will be able to move up to
stage one normal water use if it
receives four to five more inches of
water in reservoirs Hargesheimer
said
Hirgesheuner said Abilene is on its
wa) back to routine water usage
his office He will serve this month
