POINT ARENA, CA., 11/21/24 – Residents and businesses in Point Arena are being asked to reduce water usage, the city said Thursday.

The request comes as an atmospheric river batters the region. Point Arena has received over 8.6 inches of rain since Wednesday, the city said. 

“The city’s wastewater treatment ponds are filling up rapidly and it’s critical that we reduce water draining into the ponds,” Point Arena officials said in a statement.  

City officials are asking residents and businesses to reduce water usage as much as possible, including reducing or eliminating showers, toilet flushing and other water use.

Call (707) 882-2122 for more information.
