The City of Lakeport is asking citizens to conserve water. On May 11, the Lake County Board of Supervisors approved a drought emergency proclamation due the worsening drought conditions in the region. The City of Lakeport relies on ground water wells in the Scotts Valley area along with treated water from Clear Lake for the City’s water needs. Both sources are vulnerable due to the current and forecasted drought conditions. To help, they are asking residents to voluntarily reduce water consumption by saving 15-20 gallons of water per day.
