DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN UPDATE July 18, 2025
Stage 3 Drought Contingency Protocol is still in place. Non-essential water usage is still in place
at this time. The Board of Public Works has maintained a full reservoir of 22’ despite the
challenges presented.
We will continue to provide data with daily readings on the number of gallons pumped, pumping
times, and reservoir levels. This will keep the public informed of current conditions. See the City
of Auburn website at https://auburn.ne.gov for updates. The reservoir holds 1.5 million gallons of
water and has not dropped below the normal levels and is currently stable. This is due to the
implementation of the plan and the collaboration of the members of the Auburn and Peru
communities’ reduction in use. We appreciate all efforts for conserving usage until levels return
to normal.
