2006 water shortage On August 29, 2006, the town's mayor declared that all local food service and lodging businesses were to shut down September 1, 2006 due to a severe water shortage. Other commercial water users were ordered to cease water consumption. Additionally, parts of the town south of industrial way were subject to a boil water advisory, and businesses in the region ran short of bottled water when the restrictions caused a bottled-water buying spree. [2] The town usually relies on a reservoir filled by rainwater, but a recent drought and an increase in the population due to tourism had depleted its supply. Water was transported to the town to prevent total evacuation, and residents were warned to boil all drinking water.[3] The Labour Day weekend shut-down was later averted, with a limitation that consumption could not rise above 250,000 gallons a day (half the daily average), after a local businessman offered to pay for 50,000 gallons of water to be trucked in daily and put into the local water system. August 29 is the 241st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (242nd in leap years), with 124 days remaining. ...
