As everyone is aware, we are currently experiencing a dry period that is normal for this time of year. Normally our water production capacity is 1,400,000 gallons per day. The triggering criteria for mild drought conditions according to our Drought Contingency plan is 90 percent of our production capacity, or 1,260,000 gallons per day. We currently have one well that is out of service. Our daily water usage for the past three days has been 1,057,000 gallons per day. We are asking all La Grange Utility water customers to look for ways to voluntarily reduce their water use.
