The city could lose access to millions of gallons of water per day in April or May.. City leaders will present a plan on Tuesday afternoon to begin cutting water demand.

“You cut off 7 million gallons per day, that would be a huge problem for the city—we don’t have anything to replace that,” said Pusley, a career oilman for Exxon and EOG Resources. “The projections I’ve heard” for when the reduction will begin is “going to be before summer.”
