Warm Springs Branch of Public Utilities reminds community members to please conserve water.  Do not leave water running and limit lawn and garden watering to ensure adequate water levels are maintained in reservoirs.  Water conservation is something we can all remain focused on throughout this summer, as something we can do to help the community.

 

If you need a COVID-19 vaccination you can call to schedule at the Warm Springs Health & Wellness Center at 541-553-2131.   Anyone 12 and older who is Indian Health Service Eligible, OR who lives or works in Warm Springs and their family members can be vaccinated.

Tribal Council says that for the tribal organization, fully vaccinated individuals do not need to wear a mask indoors in public places where vaccination statuses are checked. Your card or a picture of your card will need to be shown to enter Tribal buildings. If proof cannot be provided, a mask needs to be worn. Masks will be required in areas where people are not asked about their vaccination status. Masks are no longer required for people who are outdoors, though masking is still encouraged, especially in crowded places and for people who are unvaccinated.

 

Everyone is reminded to be fire safe.  High temperatures, lack of water, and a high potential for fire due to extreme dryness and drought make it imperative that we all do our part to prevent wildfire and in keeping the community safe.
