Water bans spread through county towns during dry spell
A ban on nonhousehold water use extended in Mt Airy while Thurmont kept sprinkling limits in place for about ten days amid a long dry period. Pumps run continually at Mt Airy wells and a temporary storage surplus is not building, with other towns reporting variable supplies. Some showers nearby offered little relief as reservoirs in Brunswick Emmitsburg Middletown Myersville and Walkersville stayed full or nearly so. A main break at Mt Airy caused a temporary cut, but overall supplies remain stressed but sufficient in several counties despite the dry spell.
