Osceola officials say their main water source has dropped more than 2 feet over the last year. West lake near the Lakeside Casino is currently four and a half feet below the overflow.  The water plant in Osceola says they can pull 900,000 gallons of water a day from the lake, but they are currently using 1.4 million gallons, about half a million too many.  On Thursday night, the Osceola water works board voted to implement section two of the city’s water conservation ordinance. In the ordinance, outdoor watering and irrigation are prohibited with limited exceptions. Car washing is also prohibited. Full Ordinance – Osceola Water Ordinance
