Carson City Public Works is asking residents to cut back their irrigation by about 50 percent as part of a Stage 1 Water Alert.
"For instance, instead of watering for 20 minutes, please cut back to 10 minutes," a press release said on Friday. "We are experiencing very high water demand, and are continuing to have some equipment failures.
With a moderate reduction in demand, we should be OK."
