City leaders in Floydada are urging residents to conserve water due to heat and dry conditions. The conservation request is voluntary, but officials hope that if many residents participate, the city can avoid having to impose mandatory water restrictions. The city's municipal wells are being strained by the current weather conditions.

In addition to asking residents to conserve, the city will also be limiting irrigation of its own properties. Further details on the city's water conservation efforts are available from local news sources, including KCBD News.
