HARTINGTON — Hot, dry weather has put an increased demand on the city’s water system, but an odd/even system of water probably will not be necessary, according to city officials.
Mayor Gerry Miller said that although water pumped from the city’s wells reached a record high at over 11/4 million gallons on Thursday, July 10, a good water supply exists.
“Last week we were getting pretty low,” Miller said, “but we started up the new well so I don’t think we have a problem.”
