City staff alerts residents after overnight water draw; asks public to suspend watering
Summary
A city staff member reported an unusually hard draw on the water system overnight that left ground storage "below 5 feet"; staff said the towers are full but ground storage remains low and asked residents to avoid watering for specified nights to help recovery.
A staff member told the Lucas City Council that an unusually heavy water draw last night left the system critically low in the morning, with the ground storage tank reported "below 5 feet" and towers nearly empty. Staff said the towers are full at the time of the meeting but the ground storage tank still measured about 12 feet and warned residents to refrain from watering to allow the system to recover.
The staff member said the city will post more information on the website and social media and will send a Nixle alert telling residents where to check for updates. "So we're asking people not to water," the staff member said, and noted designated no-watering nights for the immediate period to support recovery efforts.
