PONCA, Neb. (KTIV) — Due to an issue with one of the City of Ponca’s wells, residents and businesses must refrain from unnecessary water usage until further notice, according to the city’s city hall Facebook page.

The notice went into effect immediately on Saturday, June 20. City leaders are urging residents to stop watering lawns and gardens and washing vehicles or driveways. The City is also urging residents to limit indoor water use to essential needs like drinking, cooking and sanitation.

On the same day, the City of Ponca said the water restriction will remain in place through the start of the week.

They also say wells are running at this time, however large demand could cause more equipment failure and a full set of replacement parts are expected to be installed on Tuesday.

For updates on the city’s water restriction, visit city hall’s website.
