Springfield’s lake is about an inch-and-a-half below pool at the moment but that’s typical for this time of year, according to Tom Skelly, the director of the water division at City Water Light and Power.
A report from the Midwest Regional Climate Cneter says that May and the first two weeks of June saw 5 to 6 inches of rain and that’s 2 inches below the average.
It’s not a drought, but it is getting close.
A final report of a pump test to determine the viability of Springfield water reserves is expected in the near future.
