v 2.4.3.0

Seattle Public Utilities was no longer urging customers to conserve water as November rains refilled reservoirs. Seattle Times (Wash.), Dec 11, 2023 The need for water conservation continued in the Seattle area as water remained in short supply, despite recent rain. Water use was previously about 149 million gallons daily, but had dropped to 120 million gallons daily with the request for conservation. The aim is to get water use down to about 100 million gallons of water daily, which is typical water use during the cooler months of the year. The Seattle Times (Wash.), Oct 10, 2023 Seattle Public Utilities asked water customers to curb water use until fall rains arrive. Below normal precipitation, an early melt to the winter snowpack and low reservoir levels have diminished water supplies. The utility serves about 1.5 million people.
