The Norwich Public Utilities issued a water supply warning and requested that residential and commercial water users curb water use by 10% until conditions improve. The city’s two reservoirs were at a combined 72.43% of their capacity and were estimated to be below 70% by the end of the week. This amounts to about a 228-day supply of water for its 11,000 customers.
“With the ongoing drought in the region and no significant rain in the immediate weather forecast, we are approaching a serious water supply situation,” NPU General Manager said in a news release announcing the warning.
