30 Minute Limit Set As Water Use Rules Tightened
Rodeo queen Sherri Simpson, 16, daughter of the Linano high school principal, was named Linano Rodeo Queen chosen by out of town judges. The city imposes an every other day water schedule with 30 minutes for outside plants, split by east and west sides of Washington Street. Mayor Caperton says the pump should add 100,000 gallons daily in two weeks, but storage remains low and Fire Chief Lee warns about firefighting pressure during a major incident.
