Springfield residents and businesses are under strict water conservation orders but how does that work when one of the state's biggest attractions is rolling into town?  Amber Sadin, with City Water Light and Power, says it shouldn't impact experiences at the Illinois State Fair at all.

The fair staff is expected to adhere to the ordinance when it comes to above ground watering.  They're only allowed to water the grass three days per week.  Sadin says she doesn't know when the ordinance will be lifted, that all depends on Mother Nature and how much rainfall comes down in the near future.  The state fair starts next Thursday and runs through August 19th.
