The City of Mercer Island has urged residents to start conserving water as reservoir levels are rapidly declining.
In a statement posted on Facebook on Monday, city officials called for immediate conservation efforts and urged residents and businesses to eliminate all unnecessary water use.Excessive heat has caused a surge in water consumption on Mercer Island , depleting reservoirs faster than they can be replenished. Early Monday, between midnight and 6 a.m., the city consumed 1.2 million gallons, surpassing sustainable levels for refilling reservoirs.
Since early April, Mercer Island has been contending with a pipeline leak repair, which has significantly impacted the city's water supply. The city has been receiving water through a backup supply pipeline. The backup pipeline is 16" compared to the main 24" pipeline. The main 24-inch pipeline, undergoing repairs until the end of July, has prompted voluntary water conservation measures since June.
