While residents and businesses in the Liverpool area are being asked to cut back on water, Region of Queens councillors want to find ways to improve communication and deal with any future water shortages.
Last week, councillors asked for a comprehensive staff report on the region’s water and wastewater systems. They also want staff to develop a communication system to inform customers quickly when problems arise.
Municipal water users in Liverpool and parts of Brooklyn have been asked since early November to restrict their water usage.
Water levels in the Town Lake Reservoir are too low to support the town’s usual consumption.
The region has warned people that without significant amounts of rain, more drastic measures may have to be taken. Another update is planned for Wednesday.
