Price City Press Release
The availability of water this year has been reduced dramatically primarily due to insignificant amounts of snow and rainfall, resulting in minimal reservoir storage. The Price River Water Users Association has set this year’s delivery of Scofield Reservoir water shares at 25%. Reservoir water is what the city uses to meet the demand for outside watering. Use only 25% of your last year’s usage.

We made it through the drought of 1992, we can do it again in 2015! Just slow the flow.
