Connecticut Asks Citizens To Conserve Water In Moderate Drought

With rainfall in the last couple of months in Connecticut at its eleventh lowest level in 120 years, about 6 inches below normal for this time of year, the Connecticut Department of Public Health and Aquarion Water are asking residents to conserve water and reduce non-essential outdoor water use. Hopefully, this will inspire a few more households to forgo their water-gulping green lawns and replace them with drought-tolerant plants that are even more beautiful. And maybe Connecticut could offer a rebate for doing so like they do in San Francisco. But somehow I doubt it.
