CARLSBORG — Clallam County Public Utility District No. 1 has downgraded drought response for its Island View Water System from stage 4 to stage 3 and lowered the response for its Clallam Bay/Sekiu system from stage 3 to stage 2.

Water for the Island View Water System, which is about 10 miles west of Sekiu, is supplied from Olsen Creek.

Low flows in Olsen Creek earlier in the year had required the PUD to draw water from the creek and triggered a stage 4 response, which prohibits all outdoor water use.

The Stage 3 response aims to encourage customers to conserve water and reduce water consumption by:

• Only using water outdoors on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

• Not washing vehicles except for safety-related purposes.

• Fixing leaky faucets and toilets.

• Taking shorter showers, no
