Town of Franklin issued the following announcement on Nov. 20.
The Town of Franklin thanks its citizens for their understanding related to voluntarily restricting the amount of water being used over the past three weeks. When there is little measurable rainfall, and the water levels in Cartoogechaye Creek drop at the intake to the water treatment plant which prompts various restrictions.
Very little rain fell during the late summer and early fall — with long stretches of no precipitation — but due to recent rainfall, the situation has improved. The Town is encouraging all residents to continue responsible water use and self-regulation, and to observe good conservation practices since the region as a whole is still in a rain fall deficit for the year.
