The Town of Meeker has instituted outdoor watering restrictions effective immediately through 5 p.m. Sunday.
According to Town Clerk Lisa Cook, the Town is seeing extremely high usage numbers this summer. Last month, Meeker residents used a record 62,000,000 gallons, six million more than ever before.
