It’s been raining, so why are Stage 2 water restrictions still in place? 💧
Recent rainfall has helped improve lake levels and drought conditions, but the Catawba-Wateree River Basin is still recovering from months of dry weather.
One key indicator we’re watching is streamflow. The six-month average remains below normal, which tells us conditions haven’t fully recovered yet.
For now, Stage 2 water restrictions remain in effect. Please continue following the outdoor watering schedule and doing your part to conserve water.
Thanks for helping protect our shared water supply! 💙
