BLOOMINGTON -
Bloomington parks officials are getting creative to protect the city's landscape as new limits on water use take effect.
The city's parks department plans to tap water that would otherwise be drained from Griffy Lake and city pools to keep some areas lush.
The Herald-Times reports Mayor Mark Kruzan has ordered restrictions on water usage starting Monday to protect the city treatment plant. City officials are worried that a power failure or overheated equipment could hurt water pressure and hinder firefighting efforts.
Parks Director Mick Renneisen said Griffy Lake is being drained for repairs to its dam, so some of the water will be used to fill the parks department's pumper trucks. Water from two city pools will be used once the facilities close and chlorine levels drop.
