Prairie City declares water emergency Only ‘essential use’ allowed Blue Mountain Eagle Prairie City Mayor Jim Hamsher has declared a water supply emergency with man- datory restrictions on water use. Prairie City Municipal Code authorizes the city to limit water usage to “essential use” — consumption, sanita- tion and fire emergencies — only, according to an Aug. 6 statement from Hamsher. “All use of water for other purposes is prohibited at all times during this emergency,” Hamsher said. “That includes but is not limited to: all irriga- tion; washing vehicles, side- walks or other hard surface areas and structures; filling or refilling pools, ponds or stor- age tanks.” Continued use of city wa- ter for non-essential purposes will result in citations, he said.

The helicopter met with an ambulance that was transporting the victim at the Dayville School football field.
