DELPHOS, Ohio (WLIO) - Drought conditions are improving in the area and that includes the City of Delphos.
Safety service director Adam Haunhorst said in a press release on Monday that water levels in the Delphos Reservoir have risen above 70% and are rising, so the phase 1 drought protocol of conserving water that started in February has been lifted for residents.
However, Haunhorst added that residents should remember that water is a limited resource and should be treated as such, continuing to conserve water when possible.
April 13, 2026, Press Release from the City of Delphos:
The City of Delphos is pleased to announce that the water levels in the Delphos-Gillmor Reservoir have risen above 70% of useable capacity and are continuing to rise. While the City would like residents to remember that water is a finite resource and should be treated as such, we feel comfortable in lifting all phase 1 drought protocol.
Thank you all for your cooperation over the past few months. If drought conditions return the City will act accordingly. If you have any additional comments, questions, or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully,
Adam F. Haunhorst Safety-Service Director
