The Suffolk County Water Authority was getting ready to expand its water emergency for the three East End towns of Southampton, East Hampton and Southold as lawn watering depletes water tanks overnight, which may not leave adequate supplies for essential services like firefighting.
Conditions are most dire in Southampton Village, where one critical water tank has nearly gone dry overnight when many homeowners have their irrigation systems running.
