As the water wells in Crescent have been drying up, many people have assumed and or blamed it was due to the Crescent Sewer System coming online. The Crescent Sewer System does not use water in the operation. The only water flowing to our treatment ponds comes from your residences and businesses. No other water is added. The water from your leach fields did not affect the water levels in the underground aquifer that supplies Crescent Water Improvement’s supply. That water is only at the ground level and travels downhill to the Little Deschutes River not to our drinking water.
One of the reasons for our water shortage, is due to the lack of rain and snow which is what supplies the aquifer. This water shortage is due to the ongoing drought throughout the western United States and is affecting communities throughout Eastern Oregon.
The water shortage has nothing to do with the Crescent Sewer System.
