WHITE OAK, Texas — The City of White Oak is changing the schedule for its splash pad and asking residents to conserve water because of drought conditions.
City Manager Jimmy Purcell said on Facebook the splash pad will be closed during the week and reopen on the weekends for now.
Purcell also asked that residents reduce the amount of water they use in light of dropping water levels. He added that the request is currently voluntary.
"As we all know, we are in a drought. The water levels are dropping, and the forecast for any rain to help is not looking good," Purcell said. "As of right now, this is voluntary and would help tremendously if all of us did our part to help conserve water."
