The Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the state Department of Homeland Security have issued a water shortage warning for all Indiana counties due to drought conditions.
Under the state’s Water Shortage Plan, notification letters are being sent to owners and operators of facilities that use significant amounts of water and calls on them to implement voluntary measures that will result in a reduction in water use by 10 to 15 percent.
The notification follows a warning July 2 to such facilities in 32 counties in northeast and southwest Indiana.
