Although reservoir levels have been improving, regionally, they are below last year’s levels. With the hottest months just around the corner, Aquarion Water Company and local officials have joined to restrict outdoor watering in four area towns to a maximum of twice weekly, on set days and during set time periods. Aquarion will be monitoring reservoir levels closely throughout the summer because the area is sensitive to drought.
