BLOOMFIELD, N.M. —
Bloomfield residents are being asked to continue conserving water during this time.
According to officials, the increased turbidity (cloudiness and sediment) in the water supply is creating additional challenges for the water treatment plant. They say reducing water usage will help lessen the demand on the system and allow the plant to better manage current conditions.
Residents can help by:
*Limiting unnecessary water use.
*Taking shorter showers.
*Run dishwashers and washing machines only with full loads.
*Avoid running water continuously while washing dishes.
*Keep a pitcher of drinking water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap until it gets cold.
*Thaw frozen foods in the refrigerator rather than under running water.
*Check for leaking faucets, running toilets, and other household leaks.
Bloomfield officials say every effort makes a difference and they appreciate residents’ patience, understanding, and cooperation as crews continue working through these challenging conditions.
