We continue to hold our own. We are down a little this month, but we have another month of the wet season to make up a little. Lets hope that the wet season continues so we don't need to worry as much when the dry season is upon us.
Continue to monitor your montly usage and work to keep your consumption at or below 150 gallons per person. It should be a little easier now that we have had some rain. Your cooperation will go a long way to protecting Florida's most valuable resource.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRACTICE CONSERVATION.
