Water Drops

Drought Watch

The Northern Westchester Joint Water Works has issued a voluntary water restriction notice effective November 13, 2024. There are no mandatory water use restrictions in place under a drought watch, but residents are strongly encouraged to voluntarily conserve water.

The New York City Water Supply System, which supplies the NWJWW with raw water, has declared a drought watch. The historically low rainfall received in the region over the past 2 months, above average temperatures and the Delaware Aqueduct Repair project were all contributing factors to the decision.

Please do your part to conserve water!

Leaf Vac
  • The Leaf Vac will follow the garbage route.
