Winfield City Lake No Longer in Stage 1 Water Watch

“The City of Winfield addresses its short-term water shortage problems through a series of stages based on conditions of supply and demand with accompanying triggers, goals and actions,” the City said. “Each stage is more stringent in water use than the previous stage since water supply conditions are more deteriorated. The City Manager is authorized by ordinance to implement the appropriate conservation measures.”

“We are not yet back to full pool and still remain abnormally dry according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. So we are still paying attention to this issue, but we are in much better shape than we found ourselves last fall. The winter moisture has been unusual, but we are glad for it,” the City said.

The City is hopeful for spring rains that can fill the lake as we prepare for both summer water supply use and recreational uses.
