“We are currently experiencing a region-wide drought due to above-average temperatures and below-average rainfall,” said City Manager Mike Hodge in a media release. “As we head into summer, we are not anticipating any relief. By implementing Stage 2, our goal is to get the word out into the community and get folks in the habit of conserving by the time we get to the hottest months.”
