St. Paul residents may only water outdoors on an even-odd schedule as St. Paul Regional Water Services enacted outdoor watering restrictions as drought worsened.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources moved the regional water provider to a restrictive drought phase on Aug. 17 as the flow of the Mississippi River near Anoka fell to 1,500 cubic feet per second or less for five consecutive days.
