Water Curtailment Update 8/25/2021

The Molalla River’s flows have increased by over 30% during the last two showers in the Watershed (from nearly record lows in the mid 40 s to 58.33 cubic feet per second today). The community’s water curtailment efforts continue to be successful: yesterday’s total usage was 1,165,800 million gallons. This compares to the daily average last year in August (at this same time) of 1,479,256 million gallons. That’s a reduction in water use of 22%. Thank you everyone for all your efforts conserving water!
