Hi Ryan,

Thank you for the update, I'm assuming that the 4th and Buckaroo festivities played into the usage heavily. We also handed out 400 flyers in the parade and people did notice the Conserve water sign on the vac truck. Probably not the reason why water usage dropped, but I'd like to think so.

I had an interesting conversation with some family over the weekend. In California if the homeowner does not reduce their usage by 25%, the City fines them $200. Kinda steep for Molalla, but I think $50/mo for residential and $100/mo for commercial may work here.

I have a meeting with the attorney's tomorrow at 10:30 as well, so I had to cancel that meeting. Stop by later this afternoon if you have some time.

Good Morning,

I just wanted to give you a heads up on our water use this morning. I had to come in Friday morning to run the other treatment plant because we could not keep up with demand. On Friday we made 2.283 MGD, Saturday, 2.075 MGD, and Sunday we were back down to 1.89 MGD. There is suppose to be a cool down coming on Friday so that may help with demand. Also the river is projected to hit 26 cfs on the 15th which I believe may be a record low. Midco divers are planning on being here tomorrow to clean the reservoirs so I am not sure if we will be able to make the morning meeting.
