CHAMPAIGN – For the first time in 19 years, Illinois American Water is asking all Champaign County customers to restrict nonessential water use.
"Since Sunday of last week, we've seen an average increase (in water usage) of 1 million gallons per day," said Barry Suits, network operations manager for Illinois American Water. "We need our customers to help reduce the demand by conserving water until the dry weather breaks."
