Although Lake Alan Henry now provides the City with an additional source of water, it does not totally replace the Lake Meredith water supply. In addition, the national weather forecasts predict that the drought will linger through the rest of this summer.
The City of Lubbock asks that all residents and businesses continue to be considerate and efficient with their water usage in an effort to conserve water and reduce overall demand.
