Because water supplies have reached 57 percent due to recent rainfall, the OWASA board of directors will meet at 3:30 p.m. today (Thursday) to discuss delaying the rate surcharges associated with the stage three water shortage declared on Feb. 28.
If not delayed, the surcharges for water use would go into effect on March 17. At the Feb. 28 meeting, OWASA staff recommended that stage three restrictions be removed if lakes are 60 percent full by April 1.
