The City of Siletz declared emergency water restrictions Friday, July 18, due to ongoing drought conditions and record low levels in the Siletz River from which the municipality draws its water. Under the emergency water curtailment notice, households were limited to 10,000 gallons of water per month. The Siletz River was at a 130-year low.
Residents of Toledo, a community that also pulls water from the Siletz River and Mill Creek, were urged to conserve water.
The Seal Rock Water District, which draws water from Beaver Creek and is the largest water district in the county with 5,500 customers, has also sent notices to its customers requesting that they conserve water.
