The three scenarios are detailed, along with current water restriction measures. The landscaping industry has been pushing back against recent measures aimed to limit the use of water for landscaping.

Raleigh is working hard to develop a plan during this current water crisis. The city council ignored recommendations for a tiered-rate system advised by a task force after droughts in 2002 and 2005. Now, city council members are promising to look at serious conservation policies including a tiered-rate system.
