Extreme heat and high fire risk are impacting drinking water supplies in Cudgewa.
Current tap water demand in Cudgewa is higher than what we can supply, and there is a real risk of the town running out.
Please reduce all outdoor water use immediately.
If you need to evacuate, do NOT leave garden or roof sprinklers running unattended. Town water is vital for firefighting efforts and must be conserved for when a fire front arrives.
Thank you for your support during this time.
