We're asking for voluntarily conservation of water and to not plant any new landscaping until the drought passes.

The purpose of the delegation of enforcement authority to the community service director is to affect a change in behavior. We're trying to make sure there's enough money to go around, not make money for the city.

(People need to) stop irrigating their lawns. This time in the winter, you don't need to be watering the ground around your home but every couple of weeks.

We gave out $75,000 last year in rebates. We budgeted $10,000 more this year.

We could use that lake dry if we're not careful.

Don't water all the grass. Just soak around the tree, foundation.

The way the water district has put it, if we do not see a significant improvement in the rainfall, we do expect to hit stage four.

It's really difficult to say (if we'll hit Stage 4), but the rainfall that will keep us from going to Stage 4 has not happened yet. The lake didn't go up very much from the rain we had last weekend.

In three months, the Lavon dropped 10 feet this time. But, if the drought continues, we could go down three feet in a few weeks.
