v 2.4.3.0

Moriah was under a local State of Emergency effective immediately due to a critical situation affecting the town’s reservoir. A mandatory water ban on all indoor and outdoor water use was in place. Residents were permitted to use water for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene, while allowed commercial water uses included that for public health and safety. The entire North Country was under an ongoing drought watch as Lake Champlain dipped into near-record lows. Several area towns urged minimal water use in the coming days with no rain anticipated.
