MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) — The City of Manitou Springs announced mandatory water restrictions for all residents and businesses due to elevated water turbidity levels.

Beginning Sunday, all outdoor watering is strictly prohibited.

City officials also urge residents and businesses to significantly reduce indoor water use, including postponing laundry, running dishwashers, and other “non-essential activities requiring substantial water.”

City officials say these precautions are necessary to preserve the city’s drinking water supply for the next three to four days.

City staff will reportedly provide an update by noon on Monday.
