Rain, haulers show promise at Old City Lake

Water haulers are currently adding more than one-half of an inch of raw water per day to Old City Lake and Mother Nature poured in another 0.65 of an inch last night.

Overcast skies in recent days have also been favorable for keeping the lake level on the rise.

This week's full edition of The Crittenden Press has details on the effort to test water in the former Lucile Mine. There's another setback on that front. However, all other emergency responses to the water crisis are pressing forward, city officials have said.
