Important Newsflash! 1604 ESMERALDA AVE, STE 101, MINDEN, NV 89423 OFFICE (775) 782-5976 FAX (775) 782-5287 WWW.TOWNOFMINDEN.COM Town of Minden ---PAGE BREAK--- It is the goal of the Town of Minden to increase public awareness and to encourage and promote water wise practices. In furtherance of this goal, in the spring of 2015 the Minden Town Board approved a resolution call- ing for voluntary water use reductions. I am pleased to report based in part on the voluntary conservation ef- forts of Minden residents, since 2007, retail use decreased by approximately 9% in 2015. On behalf of the Board I would like to take this opportunity to commend the Town residents for taking the request to implement voluntary water conservation measures to heart. It is important, for the overall sustained health of the aquifer, that each customer of the regional system make water-wise decisions daily. For these rea- sons, the call for voluntary reductions remains in place. The Town of Minden is asking for your continued help as we proceed into the warmer spring and summer months. Please let us know if you have questions or con- cerns regarding these conservation efforts. Please remember to have your cans out to the street by 6:00 am every pickup day. NO TRASH in the brown cans. This is for yard waste ONLY. Your Green trash cans are for trash, please do not mix them up. If you need additional cans please call the administrative office for options. The Town will be marking cans soon with your addresses to help with the lost can hunt on windy days. Please feel free to put your address on there ahead of time.

Most houses have two shut off valves, generally located near the foundation of the house, one for the main water to the home, the other to the irrigation. Leaks on the irri- gation lines can usually be isolated by shutting off the valve that feeds the irrigation sys- tem, and can be fixed at a later date. This valve should be turned off each year before winter to avoid leaks caused by freezing pipes. If the leak is inside the house, make sure the line is shut off at the valve before you contact a plumber. Leaks coming from the Town’s water meter boxes need to be reported to the Town of Minden. Please do not attempt to shut off the valves from the Town’s water meter boxes. If you are not sure where your own home’s water valve is located, you can contact the Town for assistance.
