• Review Emergency Response Plans for drought response measures; make sure information and contact numbers are all up-to-date.

• Check water levels in sources/wells and re-assess operational and management plans.

• Consider repairing leaking water mains sooner rather than later.

• Educate the public about the importance of water conservation and repairing leaky household fixtures.

• Review Community Water Conservation Measure Triggers, Responses, and Enforcement Plans for appropriateness; revise if necessary.

• Discuss any concerns you have with your local health department.
