In a month, Roanoke residents could be facing mandatory water conservation measures.
In the meantime, the city has stopped flush testing of fire hydrants, and washing public vehicles.
Decorative fountains have been shut off, and the city says it will not irrigate turf areas unless water can be drawn from the Roanoke River.
But the two public swimming pools will remain open.
