Odessa City Manager Kerry Sweatt reports rising water consumption tied to population growth and a building boom. On June 28 pumps delivered 31.5 million gallons, nearing the city’s single day record of 33 million gallons set last August, with monthly peak in August 1977 at 799 million and fiscal years showing multi billion totals.
