The Dallas Post NEWS Sunday, June 19, 2005 WATER Continued from Page 1 subdivision, is drilled to a depth of about 400 feet, Pack said, but the water source it is pumping from is at about half that depth. The new well is located about 1,500 feet from an existing United Water well. Due to its geology the Back Mountain is an area in which it is difficult to find and secure ground water, Pack said. The nature of its rock is less con- ducive to the formation and replenishment of aquifers, he said. To conserve water the com- pany is asking its roughly 3,000 customers to: ¢ Eliminate lawn watering. If residents must water their lawns they are asked to restrict it to alternate days and water between the hours of 6 p.m. and 7 a.m., use a hose with an automatic shut-off nozzle and water shrubs and flowers with a bucket. e Refrain from topping off swimming pools. ® Not leave water running when brushing teeth or shav- ing. e Use automatic dishwashers or washing machines only for full loads. ® Check all faucets and pipes for leaks.
