City of Plymouth Voluntary Water Use Restrictions
Published on Jun 27, 2022 15:48

Summer is upon us and we have not had a lot of rain in recent memory. In an effort to help control future water rate increases and reduce potential instances of lower water pressure, the City of Plymouth is again implementing voluntary water use restrictions this summer.

The City of Plymouth is asking residents to voluntarily LIMIT WATER USE between the hours of 5:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. when the demand on the water system hits its peak. Please do not set your sprinkler systems to run during these times. Instead, please set your sprinkler system outside of these times. If there is a delay feature on dishwashers or washing machines, please also set the timers to operate during non-peak times.

Following this voluntary restriction is a good way to keep future water rates down.  By adhering to this suggestion, the City of Plymouth can level out these high water demand factors resulting in more stable long-term water rates set by the Great Lakes Water Authority.

The City of Plymouth would like to thank all of our residents and businesses in advance for their cooperation in ensuring the overall reliability of our public water system, by adhering to these voluntary restrictions. If residents or business owners have any questions regarding the requested water use restriction they can call the City of Plymouth's Department of Municipal Services staff at (734) 453-7737.
