REPORTING SYSTEM LEAKS

To report a water leak, call the Utilities Department 24 hours a day at (928)639-2520.

NOTICE OF REPAIR

In most cases leaks can be scheduled for repair. The Utilities Dept. will notify affected residents when there will be a scheduled interruption in service.  When there is an interruption in service due to an emergency water main repair our first priority is restoring service to our customers.  It is not always possible to notify residents before shutting the water off.

WATER QUALITY

Does my water need additional treatment?

For most people, the answer is no.  Safe Drinking Water Act standards are set to ensure that your tap water is safe.  People who have medical conditions that might put them at special risk should discuss the need for a water filter with their doctors.   All public water systems are required to complete an Annual Drinking Water Quality Report and distribute this report to system users.

Home Treatment Devices

Many stores and companies sell various home treatment devices, ranging from small faucet-mounted filters to “whole-house” systems to water softeners.  While we cannot recommend specific brands or products, the following information should be helpful.  For specific project information, contact NSF International, Consumer Report, or the device manufacturer.  Maintenance is important with any home treatment device, as an inadequately maintained filter can actually reduce water quality.

WATER CONSERVATION

Under the Town of Clarkdale’s Water Ordinance, Drought and Water Shortage Preparedness Strategy Level I is automatically in effect from May 1^st through September 30^th each year. 

CONSERVATION TIPS

• Flush your toilet only when necessary.  Don’t use it to dispose of tissues, dead bugs, etc. 

• Consider installing a low-flow toilet.  If your toilet was installed prior to 1980, place a weighted plastic jug full of water in you toilet tank. Be sure it does not interfere with operating parts.  Do not use a brick because it will deteriorate and cause operational problems.  This will reduce the amount of water needed to refill the tank after flushing.

• Is it possible your toilet has a leak?  You can test it by putting 10 drops of food coloring in the tank, don’t flush for 15 minutes.  If the colored water shows up in the bowl, the tank is leaking.

• Do only full loads in the dishwasher and avoid extra cycles.  Don’t run water continuously when washing and rinsing dishes by hand.

• Use the load selector to match water level to the size of your laundry load.

• Limit use of reverse osmosis (RO) water purification systems. To get one gallon of RO water, most units waste 2-9 gallons of drinking water.

• When washing the car, rinse the car once, wash from a bucket of soapy water and rinse again quickly.

• Use a broom or rake instead of water to remove leaves, clippings and debris from your driveway and walkways.

• Plant native and other shrubs that don’t need a lot of watering.  Consider alternatives to big, thirsty lawns and high water use trees. See a list of native and adaptive drought tolerant plants.

• Check all hoses, connectors, and spigots regularly.  Repair leaks as necessary.

WATERING SCHEDULE

During Demand Reduction Strategy I “Water Alert”, there is no outside watering allowed on Mondays, or any day between the hours of 9:00 – 5:00 pm.  Water Schedule is according to your address.  Even street numbers can water on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.  Odd street numbers can water on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.  For property without an assigned street number, follow the Even street number schedule. 

CLARKDALE WATER USE

In 2006 when we purchased the Clarkdale water system along with Cottonwood, our average consumption was 11,000 gallons per household.  The water usage was approximately 46% higher than the amount of water the average American used during that same period.  

Below is a chart showing water usage in Clarkdale for the years 2007, 2008, and 2009.  Clarkdale residents have made great strides in lowering water usage over these last three years.  In 2007, 2008, and 2009 the average usage was approximately 5,000 gallons per household per month, (using 2.4 persons as the average household figure).
