Lake Springfield levels are rising, but so far not enough to allow for the lifting of water restrictions.
The State Journal-Register reports the lake has risen by about a foot over the last month, thanks to heavier than normal precipitation since the first of the year.
But the lake is still nearly nine inches below its average for this time of year, leaving restrictions in place for the time being.
City officials note the restrictions don’t have much impact right now, since there’s very little outdoor watering that takes place in the winter months.
