(Cedar City, UT) — Cedar City residents are being ordered to stop all outdoor water use until Thursday evening because of problems with the city’s water system. Officials issued the restrictions after a well pump failed and a supply line developed a leak. The order covers sprinklers, irrigation systems and other outdoor watering and will remain in effect until 8 p.m. Thursday. Mayor Steve Nelson says the restrictions will help preserve enough water for drinking and other indoor uses while crews make repairs and refill storage tanks. The cause of the pump failure and leak remains under investigation.
