Strasburg Borough gets its water from wells and springs it owns in neighboring municipalities, including Strasburg and Paradise townships. The borough taps springs first and the wells supplement their production.
The system is currently drawing about 38 percent of its water from wells, according to Echternach. Usually at this time of year, we are drawing 2 or 3 percent from wells, the chief said. The water committee recommended Monday night that if draw from the wells reaches 40 percent, residents should not be allowed to fill swimming pools with borough water. They would have to get water from an outside source, Ech-temachsaid. Residents could still top off pools as long as the amount of water is less than 5 percent of the overall volume.
If the boroughs draw from its 1 wells hits 60 percent, topping off of i swimming pools would not be al- i lowed. Echternach said residents complaints about neighbors not follow- 1 ing guidelines will be taken seriously. Also, meters will show if someones water usage skyrockets during pool-filling season. Echternach said the Strasburg community has done an excellent job in conserving water since Gov. Mark Schweiker declared a drought emergency for Lancaster County onFeb.
