The mandatory water conservation order for Round Hill ended on Feb. 7 after taking effect on Nov. 1 because drought limited water production from its 12 wells. On Feb. 7, the town received state approval to add a new well. Voluntary water conservation was again encouraged.

The Round Hill Town Council on Nov. 1, adopted mandatory water restrictions, which prohibit most outdoor water use. Round Hill officials initially urged water conservation in August as lower well yields and longer recharge times caused alarm. On Sept. 6, the council enacted a formal voluntary water conservation policy urging the public to avoid water waste. Despite the calls for conservation, water consumption has not fallen significantly.
