City officials in Maysville are asking residents to conserve water.

At their Board of Aldermen meeting last night, they voted to ask residents to restrict their water usage.

That includes watering yards and gardens or adding water to swimming pools. They say any other way water consumption can be limited, residents should do so.

The board contributes the water restriction request to the level of a lake supplying the town with water.

Once that water level gets back to normal the restriction will be repealed.
