Crownpoint Chapter has asked families to keep children away from the hose at its watering point, saying children have been grabbing onto it and swinging on it.
A clasp clamps onto the hose and dispenses the water, the chapter said in a notice. If it breaks, there will be no hose.
The chapter also asked people not to climb on the yellow barriers, saying they could slip and fall. It noted that the ground there is concrete.
Water hauling is done with large trucks and water tanks, the chapter said, and hauling will be taking place over the three-day weekend coming up, when the hose is needed.
The notice also asks people to insert seven tokens at a time.
