City of Mills lifts water restrictions

MILLS, Wyo. — The City of Mills lifted water restrictions that had been in place since April to combat drought conditions, following a City Council vote at its Tuesday meeting.

Previously, residents were limited to watering yards during certain hours and on specific days, with fines for violations. Following the council’s vote, however, residents are free to use water at their own discretion.

While the council did away with the restrictions for its residents, the council agreed to continue holding off on irrigating municipal parks.

Though Mills is removing the restrictions, data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows that Natrona County is still classified as currently experiencing “extreme drought.”
