UPDATES

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection reminds businesses to conserve water as the State remains under a Drought Warning. Persistent below-average precipitation has strained water supplies across all six state regions. Above-average rainfall is needed across the entire state before conditions improve.

Mandatory restrictions may become necessary if drought conditions worsen. Landscapers, car washes, food service, manufacturing, and other water-intensive businesses should review current usage and conservation options now. DEP is monitoring conditions closely and working with water suppliers to manage supplies across affected regions.

Water supply indicators are updated weekly.
