Town falls back to Voluntary Water Conservation Stage 1

Taylorsville Town Manager Nathan Hester has announced the Town will revert back to voluntary water restrictions instead of mandatory restrictions.

“With the rainfall received over the last few weeks and the State decreasing the level of intensity of the drought for our area, the Town of Taylorsville is reducing our water restrictions back to Stage 1 Voluntary Conservation,” Hester said on July 23, 2026. “Under Stage 1 measures, the Town of Taylorsville requests that all water customers continue to be conscientious of their water usage and try to keep usage down by at least 5% of their normal usage.”

Ways this can be done are:

• Limit watering of lawns, landscaping, and other vegetation to not more than two times a week or maximum of one inch of water per week.
• Preventing runoff, water waste, and watering impervious surfaces.
• Limit the washing of vehicles.
• Limit the washing of clothes and dishes to full loads only.
• Using spring loaded nozzles on garden hoses and refrain from using open hoses.
• Inspect and repair all leaks and faulty/defective parts of faucets and toilets.
• Install water-flow-restrictive showerheads and water saving devices in toilets.
• Turn off faucets while shaving, brushing teeth, or rinsing dishes.
