Governor Ned Lamont approved a recommendation by the State of Connecticut’s Interagency Drought Working Group to declare all eight Connecticut counties as experiencing Stage 2 Drought conditions due to below normal precipitation across the state. Residents should be mindful of their water consumption and were asked to voluntarily reduce outdoor irrigation, postpone planting new lawns or vegetation, and fix any leaks.
