The Western Lake Superior Watershed – of which Hibbing is a part of – has been declared to be in a Drought Warning Phase by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Hibbing Public Utilities is requesting all of its water customers to reduce water use. Please take precautions to limit all non-essential water use, such as lawn and grounds irrigation, building power-washing, car washing, and filling of swimming pools or use of outdoor water recreation devices such as sprinklers.
By implementing these water conservation measures, the strain on the entire watershed can be lessened.
Your cooperation in the drought crisis will be greatly appreciated and will help alleviate the negative impacts on Minnesota’s natural resources and economy
