Based on the current forecasted extreme heat conditions and the lower than average lake levels; this advisory is to notify residents that the City may have to implement more stringent water restrictions and conservation measures to help ensure that the City’s water delivery system can keep up with the demand for drinking water, commercial and industrial use, while also being able to maintain water levels in the City’s water reservoirs for fire protection.
