Corning council to consider drought declaration
The City Council Tuesday will discuss whether Corning needs to declare stage one drought conditions in the city, which would require asking residents to reduce their everyday water usage by 15 percent. The city’s staff is asking the council to implement the voluntary measure. The city will encourage residents to use native plants or water-conserving vegetation, use efficient landscaping systems, water during the evening and early morning to reduce evaporation and practice water-reducing methods in households.
