Start Date: 10/7/2022 -  
A water emergency took effect in Norwalk on Oct. 7 as the city has had historically low rainfall in the last 43 years, affecting reservoir levels. The mayor issued mandatory water conservation measures to avoid a larger water crisis. Among the prohibited actions were lawn and landscape watering with some exceptions, vehicle washing, power washing of pavement and other activities. Scofflaws will be warned, but can be fined $90 daily if the violation persists. NBC New York, Oct 6, 2022
