Sharing water matters

Wish we could say it was a summer without drought impacts -- but no such luck. The Blackfoot River dropped below the drought response trigger of 700 cfs on Tuesday. Thursday rains brought a bump in flows, but chances are that won't last long. Therefore the Blackfoot Drought Response Committee activated the Drought Plan this week -- and water users are being asked to implement water conservation measures at this time. Thank you for doing your part!
