Cordova Is Out of Water
for 2nd Time This Year
Cordova is a “dry” town for the
second time this winter. Water
supplies in the city reservoir have
been exhausted, and all city water
is now pumped to Cordova mains
from a nearby lake. Cordova
dwellers are warned to boil all
drinking water.
Engineers estimate that it will
take a month for rainfall to build
a water surplus in the Cordova
reservoir again. Cordovans daily
are scanning cloudless skies, and
keeping their fingers crossed at
the mere mention of the word
fire.
