Albany mayor Donald Pratt warned of a deepening water shortage as schools reopen next week.

Despite drilling 16 wells with little success, officials expect tying into the Le Ax Water System later this year to relieve the crisis. Residents were urged to conserve water and avoid washing cars or watering lawns.
