Water Crisis Emergency Declaration
Strawn just declared a Stage 4 water emergency after a major supply line leak, so all outdoor watering is banned and residents are being told to conserve whatever is left in storage. If you’re in or around Strawn, treat this as immediate—lawns, landscaping, and any outdoor water use are off the table until repairs are made.
Well Aware mass notification system
The city launched its emergency alert system with about 100 sign-ups in the first weeks. Residents can register by phone, text, or email for weather, water, road, and public safety alerts — a 90-day signup push is underway.
