Cool Winds Bring Temp Drop, New Pump Arrives in Athens
Rain and cool winds alleviated heat in Athens but failed to end the city water shortage. After 12 hot days, the temperature dropped from the 90s to the 60s as a 0.31 inch shower eased conditions. Mayor Seel warned the water emergency would last at least until Tuesday, urging continued restraint on watering, car washes, and nonessential use. A pump for a new well in the West State Street field arrived, with officials hoping to start it soon to bolster supply.
