< Back Statewide Level 1 Drought Aug 14, 2026 The City of Cave Spring would like to remind residents that Georgia remains under a statewide Level 1 Drought Response , originally declared by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) on April 27, 2026, due to ongoing dry conditions and impacts on water resources. At this time, outdoor water use is still allowed and remains unchanged under Level 1 guidelines. General landscape watering is permitted between 4:00 PM and 10:00 AM. While there are no new local watering restrictions, we encourage everyone to be mindful of how we use this important resource. Small conservation efforts can make a big difference. Simple ways to conserve water: • Check regularly for leaks inside and outside your home and repair them promptly. • Water lawns and landscapes only when necessary. • Adjust sprinklers so they don’t water sidewalks, streets, or buildings. • Avoid letting water run unnecessarily. Georgia EPD will continue monitoring drought conditions, including rainfall, stream and reservoir levels, groundwater conditions, and other indicators. Thank you, Cave Spring, for helping us protect our water supply today and for the future. Previous Next
