Water Restrictions – Van Anda Improvement District

System Consumption Alert – Water Usage Critical

By Van Anda Improvement District | June 2, 2026

We are currently operating at or near maximum water production capacity, with the pump running continuously (close to 24 hours per day).

Please help us manage demand by keeping an eye out for any potential leaks. If you have recently activated an automatic watering or irrigation system, we strongly encourage you to inspect it carefully for leaks or inefficiencies.

Your cooperation is essential in helping us maintain a reliable water supply for everyone. Thank you for your support.
