Be conservative with water usage

Good morning folks,

Please be conservative with water usage, as the storage water tanks are very low. Following is a message from the chairman of the water committee:

"...took a nose dive on Sunday, probably due to high usage (in addition to leakage).
Peter has activated Hovenweep to running full time in order to attempt to catch up.
Should a high rate of usage continue, we will have to isolate in order to refill storage levels. We can pump no more."
