Drought Watch
It should come as no surprise to anyone, but Columbia County and much of the rest of the state is now in an official state of "drought watch."
A press release on the subject states:
A "watch" is the first of four levels of state drought advisories ("watch," "warning," "emergency," and "disaster.") There are no statewide mandatory water use restrictions in place under a drought watch or warning, but citizens are strongly encouraged to voluntarily conserve water. Local public water suppliers may impose water use restrictions depending upon local needs and conditions.
Although weather reports keep mentioning rain, there has been done to speak of, and there is now no rain in the forecast until Thursday.

The Summer Streets program offers a great opportunity for local residents to leave their cars at home and to ride bicycles under safe conditions. Alas, bicycles are still few and far between.
ReplyDeleteDoes the City still have it's extra reservoir on Newman Road or did that get sold? I can't remember. I've been wondering when a drought would be declared.
ReplyDeleteColumbiaville had 2 1/2 inches of rain in July down from almost 4 inches in 2019 - same in June. But no drought here yet; summer enui.
