City officials encourage water conservation

Huntington County Tab:

City officials say that while there's currently no shortage of water in Huntington, residents are encouraged not to waste the liquid resource.

"At this time the city's water supply is not at risk," Huntington Water Superintendent Randy Jones said in a news release issued Monday, July 9. "However, in being good stewards of a precious natural resource, we ask that citizens use their best discretion on the use of water,"

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has asked 32 Indiana counties - those that have capacity to withdraw 100,000 gallons or more per day - to implement voluntary water conservation measures.
