Residents of Dover were urged to conserve water as moderate drought and heat persisted and led to an increase in water use. Precipitation has not been sufficient to replenish underground reservoirs from which the city draws its municipal water.
While aquifer levels were decreasing, the city has also opted to encourage conservation while the Pudding Hill aquifer, which is contaminated with PFAS, was not in use. A new treatment facility was under construction so the water can be used.
