A small Southeast Kansas town has issued a “Water Emergency” and warned that residents could face disconnections or citations if they use water for outdoor purposes.

The City of Caney, in Montgomery County, has implemented a Mandatory Water Conservation Effort. The temporary ban on outdoor water use means water cannot be used for any outdoor purpose, including the watering of lawns, golf courses or washing vehicles. Violators could have their water service disconnected or receive citations.
