Pool only 1/2 full

Fire Depts around here have been told they will be fined and possibly prosecuted for filling pools as they don't purchase the water to do so.....Kinda hokey but I do understand the thought around here with the droughts.....

If my alkalynity is 50 ppm should I try to raise it. I used the bleach calculator and I came up with adding 10 pd. 12 oz. Does that sound right? Sharon ps my pool holds 25,700 gal.
