New York City is not often associated with the kind of drought we see in other areas of the country, but this fall has been a stunning exception. This past
October saw the second-longest rainless streak in city records, dating back 155 years, to 1869. With November continuing to be warmer and drier as well, we have issued a citywide drought watch and are urging New Yorkers to conserve water wherever possible.
An open faucet uses two to three gallons of water per minute, so there’s no need to run the faucet while you’re shaving, washing your hands, or brushing your teeth. Run the dishwasher and washing machine only when full. Use short cycles if available. Turn off the water while washing dishes. New York City is justifiably proud of our water system, and we are determined to protect one of our most precious resources. All of us who rely on the city’s water supply, including 8.3 million consumers in the city and another 1.5 million upstate, must make concerted efforts to conserve water, especially during these extended dry periods.
