Mahanoy City water users were asked to curb water use by at least 15 percent until water levels in the reservoirs rise. Mahanoy Township Authority notified customers on Dec. 8 that it was activating Stage 1 of its Drought Contingency Plan, which prohibits non-essential water use. Rainfall in the region has been low, allowing the combined water levels in the authority’s reservoirs to fall below 55 percent of capacity.
