WATER SHORTAGE AND WATER CONSERVATION
The need for water conservation has never
been greater. Water conservation has become a national
focus in terms of cost and natural resource preservation,
especially in areas affected by droughts and water
shortages.
There is always an increased usage of water during the
growing season, and we can see as much as a 100,000 gallon
per day decrease in water consumption following a good rain.
While the Town of Black Mountain has a connection with the
City of Asheville’s water system, we must do everything that
we can to conserve water in order to maintain our supplies
and hold costs to a minimum.
Mayor Carl R. Bartlett
