Thumbs up: Mindful consumption
As high temperatures and extended drought continue to pressure local reservoirs, Indy residents are cooperating with official efforts to limit water usage. On July 29, Citizens Energy Group reported that its customers used 143 million gallons, tens of millions less than they were using a month ago. "Compliance with water use restrictions continues to be high with water usage currently 59 million gallons per day less than before restrictions took effect on July 13 and 90 million gallons per day less than the peak usage recorded on June 28," Sarah Holsapple, Citizens' media liaison, reported in her most recent update.
