The town of Chandler, Indiana has issued an order that could affect how you use water in your home.

It has been very hot and dry over the past few weeks, here in Southern Indiana. On July 6th, Warrick County declared a burn ban "until conditions improve." While we have seen a little rain, since then, the burn ban remains in effect. According to Warrick County Emergency Management Agency's Facebook Post on July 19th:

The Burn Ban for the County is STILL IN PLACE. Although we did get a little bit of rain this past weekend, conditions are still very, very dry and with little to no rain in the future forecast it has been decided to keep in effect until further notice.
