I read with interest this morning that we are under voluntary water restrictions within the City of Franklin. It has been a dry spring and it is not surprising that we have had these requests made, but it is unusual that we are this dry so soon in the summer.
Our city has a water issue that needs to be addressed, namely we don't have an adequate supply to keep up with the growth we have and will have. Decisions need to be made to increase this supply, either by purchasing more water from outside sources or by improving our ability to draw water from local sources like the Harpeth.
I am not an expert in this area, but I would lean toward purchasing the water from an outside source versus drawing more from local sources. I have a hard time seeing the Harpeth as a long-term solution to our water needs.
I'll watch with interest in the coming months to see how we react to this situation.
