"If we all take part mandatory restrictions will be much less likely," a social media post notes.
If water demand does not decrease, the restrictions could advance to Stage 2 where watering of lawns will be timed and managed by address.
Kalispell’s water comes from 10 groundwater sources, or wells, which may not be able to handle water demands.
City parks will reduce water usage by 25% to aid in water-saving efforts.
