Good morning, Virginia Beach.

Mutts with a Mission is hosting an information session from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at its Virginia Beach training center for those interested in raising puppies to become service dogs for veterans and first responders (a program started nearly 20 years ago by veteran Brooke Corson).

Virginia Beach is urging residents to cut nonessential water use as dry conditions have left its reservoir roughly 10% below normal (the last severe drought occurred in 2002).

Officials advise reducing tasks like filling pools until more rain replenishes the supply.

Local officials are reviewing a rainfall deficit that has raised worries about water supply and climate impacts in the region — experts say conservation measures and careful water use may help the community adjust as drier conditions continue.

They plan further studies to better understand the situation.
