Even though we have had some rain over the last couple of weeks the river, Cedar Creek, and Rock Creek water levels are dropping to levels that is posing a problem to our city water supply.

We will have to start taking water from Lake Fort Scott starting this morning/early afternoon.

Residents of the Lake will not notice any difference in the level of the lake for a few days since we are going to take it slow and only open the valve a small portion.

We will continue to update everyone on this progress throughout so citizens will know what is happening.

Thank you for your cooperation. #togetherwecan.
