Town Of Taylorsville Drops Back To Voluntary Water Conservation Measures

July 23, 2026 By Richard C. Gilbert

Taylorsville Town Manager Nathan Hester has released the following

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. Under stage one measures, the Town of Taylorsville requests that all water customers continue to be conscientious and try to keep usage down by at least 5%.

Ways that 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.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Town Hall (828) 632-2218.
