Water level continues to drop

Water level continues to drop

Shari Sweeney, of Carbondale, helps move a tomato trellis at her Greenridge Farm. Sweeney waters her organic vegetables from a nearby pond, but because of the drought the water level is well below average. Because fish and turtles live in the pond, Sweeney said she would stop using the pond if the water level continues to drop.
