Due to the extended drought,
there has been for some time a
large demand on our water supply
until at this time it appears that
the unnecessary uses will have to
be eliminated. We are in no worse
condition than has been the case in
many previous summers, but with
no relief in sight from the heat and
drought it may become necessary
to lower the pressure or to make
the supply available at intervals.
