Nixa water users received a message from the city urging water conservation when watering lawns and washing vehicles. The message stated, "Nixa Utilities water department had to shut down one of our wells because the water table is only 4 feet above the pump and we can’t risk pulling mud or air into the system."

Drought has depleted groundwater for the city of Nixa. Water users were urged to curb their water use to avoid a Stage I Water Emergency through the end of July. If the city went into a water emergency, excess water would cost more, some water conservation measures would be mandatory, and some water use, such as lawn watering, would be prohibited.
