Bloomfield Water Restrictions Lifted

Friday, June 3, 2016 at 12:00 AM

Water transfer from the City of Aztec and the Enterprise Reservoir were stopped late yesterday (Thursday, June 2, 2016). All users are asked to voluntarily conserve where they can to minimize the impact on the available storage in the Bloomfield Reservoir. Should the available storage drop dramatically, additional water restrictions will be necessary.
