Under the state of local emergency, residents may not:
Shower or bathe;
Wash dishes; or
Run washing machines.
As of late Tuesday morning, the situation was considered so dire that the town feared there wouldn’t be enough water available for emergency fire suppression.
The water break had yet to be isolated as of Tuesday afternoon and initial requests to limit water use appear to have been ignored. According to the town, Monday was Cochrane’s highest water usage day this month.
