With the limited amount of rain over the past couple of months, Jefferson County is currently in a Moderate Drought Status.
According to Tracy W. Zents, Director of Emergency Services, Jefferson County is listed as a “D1” status where voluntary water conservation is requested, as lake levels are below normal capacity.
At the request of the Department of Emergency Services and the majority of the Fire Chief’s in Jefferson County, they are asking residents not to conduct any outdoor controlled burns until further notice.
