🌊 New Jersey Remains Under Drought Warning — Conserve Water Now
As of May 2025, New Jersey continues to face drought conditions, with significantly below-average rainfall leading to diminished streamflow, reservoir, and groundwater levels.
💧 Water Conservation Tips:
Pause outdoor watering and allow lawns to go dormant for the season.
Winterize and shut off irrigation systems as soon as possible.
Use a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways and sidewalks.
Wash cars at commercial car washes that recycle water.
Fix leaks in faucets, pipes, and irrigation systems promptly.
Install low-flow fixtures: showerheads, faucets, and toilets to reduce water usage.
Run dishwashers and washing machines only when full to maximize efficiency.
Take shorter showers and turn off the tap while brushing teeth or shaving.
These small but impactful actions can help alleviate stress on water sources and infrastructure.
For more information on drought conditions and additional conservation tips, visit https://dep.nj.gov/conserve-water/
Together, we can make a difference and support the sustainability of our water resources. 💧🌿
