Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer said he invited Harrison to give information on the city’s water supply during Monday night’s Warsaw City Council meeting.
Thallemer said the request was made after the Indiana Department of Homeland Security issued notices July 2 asking cities and towns to curb water usage.
Harrison said Indiana American Water did improvements in the system last year that prepared the city for the water shortage advisory issued earlier this month.
Harrison said the city has a drought contingency plan that was updated this past spring in case there were capacity issues.
Harrison said for the last 12 to 14 days, the city has seen usage at 4.1 to 4.6 million gallons per day.
He said with the new water treatment facility, total capacity is 6 million gallons per day.
He said the record day of usage saw 4.6 million gallons of water usage in one day.
“Right now I don’t see water capacity or fire protection issues,” Harrison said. “People can continue to water their grass and flowers that will be sustainable throughout the summer.”
