Watering Plan Suggested For Grand Saline Residents
Grand Saline officials ask residents to water yards on alternating days by street side to ease demand. City Secretary Perry Pugh says there is no shortage, but pump capacity is 862000 gallons daily and recent use neared that limit as temperatures rise. If voluntary measures fail, enforcement will follow.
