Bellevue has joined a regional water shortage response plan. The plan is a result of a historically hot and dry summer paired with higher than average water use and lack of precipitation.

At this stage in the plan, Bellevue residents are being asked to be thoughtful in their use of water. Bellevue Utilities has a number of resources and ideas to help customers to conserve water, including the following:

Water conservation tips
Free water-saving items from Bellevue's water provider, the Cascade Water Alliance. These include low-flow shower heads and leak detection kits.
The Waterwise Garden at the Bellevue Botanical Garden, where residents can learn how they can save water in their own gardens.

This advisory stage lets customers know that the potential exists for a water supply shortage. At this time no mandatory restrictions are in place.
