Mandatory water restrictions were reissued in Haines Borough as dry conditions persisted and the level of Lily Lake fell.
Chilkat Valley News (Alaska), Aug. 8, 2019
Drought and insufficient snowpack lowered Lily Lake, usually supplying 80 percent of Haines’ water needs, to an historic low this summer to the point that water no longer flows by gravity from the lake, due to a problem with the pipeline. Water production was down to 130 gallons per minute, rather than 250 gallons per minute.
