Water use peaks as village battles storage drop
Water consumption rose to peak usage between 5 30 and 6 p m causing storage levels to fall to 13 and 10 feet from 14 and 16 feet a week earlier. Paramedics report more heat related breathing difficulties among elderly residents, many avoiding air conditioning due to cost. Officials urge cooling measures, warn of higher fire risk with continued heat and no rain. Over five days the village pumped 6 272 400 gallons with daily totals of 1 240 000 to 1 730 000 and 1 4 million. A boil order would be needed if pressure fell below 20 pounds.
