SUMPTER(Alert from Sumpter City Hall) The City of Sumpter is now using our secondary water source as McCulley Creek is not producing enough water to sustain the cities needs. Please be extra conservative on outdoor water usage as we navigate through the rest of the summer months.  Thank you! ~City Hall
