Snow Hill, Maryland - The emergency water conservation measures that were enacted Saturday in the Riddle Farm and South Ocean Pines areas have been lifted. Residents and visitors are now able to resume all indoor and outdoor water activities.

"Over the weekend our crews repaired electrical issues associated with two well pumps in Ocean Pines and corrected an issue with four valves," Public Works Director Dallas Baker said. "The south water tower has reached and is continuing to maintain sufficient levels, even with irrigation activities continuing. We want to thank everyone who took the conservation efforts seriously and turned off their irrigation systems and reduced their water consumption. That partnership played a key role in helping to restore adequate water levels in the tower."
