On July 1st the town of Walden's only water source, the Michigan river, was flowing at 46 CFS. Today July 5th it's plummeted to just 19.5 CFS. A 57.6% decrease over just a five day period. We are now in water shortage level 2 with a call on the Michigan River being required if we dip down below 10 cubic feet per second there's no yard watering whatsoever only household water use. That said at this stage in our water restrictions they've now shut off the RV dump station for tourists. Keeping in mind that tourism is one of the primary economic sources for Jackson County.
