Sorry for any confusion, the intent is for watering to occur only between
the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. (the limit being that watering should
only occur during those hours).

Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Moscow Water

This press release is confusing.

Are they proposing unrestricted irrigation during the midday, when the sun
is the hottest

and evaporation is the highest?

limit outdoor irrigation to between the hours of 6:00 pm and 9:00 am. 

I must be missing something here.

Help?

PRESS RELEASE

From:              Gary J. Riedner, Moscow City Supervisor, 206 E. 3rd St.,
Moscow, Idaho 83843, telephone: (208) 883-7006, Fax: (208) 883-7018, e-mail:

Date:               June 24, 2003

The City of Moscow has implemented the first step in a plan to encourage the
public to reduce water use for irrigation in order to avoid the possibility
of state mandated water limitations.

At a special City council meeting held on June 23, 2003, the Moscow City
Council voted unanimously to support water conservation measures to reduce
the rate of depletion of the Grand Ronde aquifer, which supplies
three-fourths of Moscow's drinking water. The aquifer, which is shared by
the University of Idaho, City of Pullman and Washington State University, is
dropping approximately one to two feet per year.

The first step the Council took was to limit outdoor irrigation to between
the hours of 6:00 pm and 9:00 am. This move will reduce the water lost to
evaporation and by some estimates, could save up to a million gallons of
irrigation water per day. The restriction should commence at 12:01 am, July
1, 2003, however city residents are encouraged to begin the program
immediately. 

According to Mayor Marshall Comstock, compliance to the restriction is
voluntary at this time, but if the measures do not save significant amounts
of water, then the program will become mandatory and other conservation
measures, such as alternate day watering may become necessary. According to
Comstock, "The citizens of Moscow are always ready to do the right thing and
I know that they will respond enthusiastically to our call for their help."

Mayor Comstock also stated that city staff will be working with the Moscow
Health and Environment Commission and a consultant to develop a water
conservation program. That program should be developed over the next several
weeks. Information about the watering restrictions and other conservation
measures may soon be viewed on the City's website www.ci.moscow.id.us
<http://www.ci.moscow.id.us/> and on cable channel 13.
