PULASKI, Va. (WDBJ) – Dry conditions dating back to last September have pushed local water supplies to their lowest levels of the year, prompting the Town of Pulaski to implement a voluntary water conservation plan and close its summer splash pad.
The town’s reservoir is at its lowest point this year. In response, Pulaski has asked residents to reduce water use, including refraining from washing cars, filling pools, and watering yards. The splash pad, a popular warm-weather destination, has been temporarily shut down to conserve water.
