## Resource

Hastings City Council votes 6-1 to let Lake Hastings stay at its natural water level, rejecting calls to artificially refill it — a move sparked by earlier concerns over dropping levels, but now reversed as water naturally recovers thanks to existing city infrastructure. Residents split on whether nature should handle it or if the city should intervene, especially since the power plant already adds water as a byproduct. The Little Blue Natural Resources District is urging broader water conservation planning, pushing the city to rethink its approach — for now, nature’s in charge, but the conversation isn’t over.
