Public Works Director Dustin Johnson has signed an order for the Termination of Outdoor Irrigation Restrictions for the city of Lewiston.
According to a news release from the city, now that the city’s high reservoir is restored, irrigation restrictions have been lifted for all City of Lewiston water customers. Final modifications, including installing the liner and floating cover, were completed earlier this month and proper disinfection and testing was completed, ensuring that the water and the infrastructure meets industry standards for daily use.
Although the irrigation restrictions have been lifted, the city is asking water users to gradually resume their irrigation practices in the coming days. During the restriction period, the public water system was utilized at a reduced rate. Officials say by slowly increasing irrigation consumption, the public works department can ensure the smooth operation of the mechanical systems to handle the typical summer water demands and allow sufficient time for the grass to absorb the water.
