Water Restrictions

Effective midnight August 16, 2026.

Posted: 9:01PM Sunday August 16, 2026

Due to the continued heat wave the B.I.D. Trustees have implemented the following water restrictions to help conserve our water in the event of an emergency:

Until further notice, there is to be no sprinkler watering of lawns or filling of pools. Hand watering by Bonnington Improvement District water users is permitted.

Any users found in violation of the water restrictions will have their water turned off by the District and be subject to fines.

Thank you very much for being respectful of all our community water users.
