Request for Water Conservation

The City of Ephrata is urging residents to conserve water due to high temperatures and the inoperability of Well #9, which has led to low reservoir levels. The Ephrata School District has also suspended watering parks and school grounds to prioritize residential water use. The city anticipates the well will be operational again by late next week after necessary repairs.
