With record low rainfall in the past month, Cicero is asking residents to stop watering their lawns between the hours of 5pm and 11am until further notice. Chief Steve Peachey of the Cicero Fire Department says "water usage reaches its peak between 5pm and 11am, and the city water facilities are having a difficult time keeping up with demand during these hours".
Today it is expected that the central Indiana area will receive .25-.5" of rainfall. Chief Peachey expects this will not be enough to reduce water usage.
Noblesville is also experiencing a water emergency, and city officials have asked Noblesville residents to stop watering their lawns completely until further notice.
