DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN UPDATE June 23, 2025
Stage 3 Drought Contingency Protocol is still in place. Non-essential water usage is necessary
until the area receives enough rainfall to recharge our water sources. The Board of Public
Works has maintained a full reservoir of 22’ despite the challenges presented.
We appreciate all our customers and work hard to ensure that water is safe and available. 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.
