The Town of Copan issued an Emergency Proclamation on Sept. 13 due to a water shortage stemming from drought. Copan Lake was 6.49 feet below normal, which is a critically low level that jeopardizes the town’s ability to draw water for treatment and distribution. Washington County Rural Water District #7 and Hulah Water District #20 were also affected by the water shortage.
