Water Notice from City of Willow Park

During this time of extreme heat, we are asking our customers to be extra cautious about water usage in the city. Water tank levels have been keeping up with demand all summer but over these last few very hot days, the levels have declined enough to warrant concern should a grass or house fire occur in the area with a risk of spread.

The Willow Park Fire Department relies on Willow Park water to save property and lives in our city, and sometimes surrounding areas. Conditions are particularly dangerous between the heat and the wind and we are on our second day of a grass fire danger notice from the National Weather Service.

We have also noticed an increase of people watering during the wee hours of the morning – which is the typical recovery time for the city’s wells – as well as some residences where driveways and streets are being watered.

It is imperative for the safety of our community and its water supply that customers allow the tanks to replenish overnight, follow the city’s guidelines for outdoor watering, and conserve wherever they can.

As a reminder, here are the year-round guidelines that are in place for the city water customers.

Thank you for helping your community!
