Pulaski's Water Crisis Deepens | Roanoke News

Pulaski’s Gatewood Reservoir is at a historic low, plummeting over twenty feet—more than double its normal seasonal drop. With the town already under a drought emergency since August, residents are urged to conserve water as visible shorelines reappear for the first time in years. But here’s the twist: rain falling in Pulaski doesn’t help much—the reservoir relies on rainfall across an eight-thousand-acre watershed in the Jefferson National Forest, far above town. Officials are pinning hopes on heavy rains in those forested areas, while acknowledging that Mother Nature holds the ultimate key to relief.
