On April 27, 2026, the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) Director declared a state-wide Drought Response Level 1 for public water systems using surface water and/or groundwater.  Under this declaration, public water systems must implement a public information campaign designed to help citizens better understand drought, its impact on water supplies, and the need for water conservation.  Outdoor water use between the hours of 4 PM and 10 A.M. is still allowable and unaffected by a Drought Response Level 1.  Please see the press release issued by EPD, as well as the information available on EPD’s Drought Management webpage, for more details.
