Coffeyville residents are being encouraged to conserve water. City Clerk Cindy Price says they want people prepared for the worst-case scenario. As of 8:20 Saturday night, the Verdigris River level is 20.6 feet.  Current projections indicate the river will crest at 25.5 feet Monday evening.  The height of the levee is 26 feet. Meanwhile, the Water Treatment Plant is ramping up to produce additional water, and citizens are encouraged to fill jugs in advance to have water available.

Unless conditions warrant, the next update from city hall will be released at approximately 9 a.m. Sunday.
