Despite the extended drought conditions, city officials say Springfield's water supply is doing fine, but suggests smart water usage by its customers.
City Water, Light and Power spokesperson Amber Sabin says the utility will keep monitoring the situation to see if conservation measures will be necessary at some point this summer.
But Sabin notes that the city is pumping out treated water to customers at a near record pace, apparently because of large numbers of people watering their lawns to fight the effects of the drought.
