During the continuing drought watch, Westchester County is asking residents to conserve water.
New York City issued a Drought Watch that affects Westchester County water supplies. Additional notifications will be made should the Drought Watch escalate to a Drought Warning or Drought Emergency.
To support water conservation, the County recommends that residents:
- Limit lawn and garden watering to early morning or evening hours to minimize evaporation
- Check and fix leaks in plumbing, faucets, and hoses
- Run dishwashers and laundry machines only with full loads
- Avoid washing vehicles or hosing down sidewalks
