Despite increased levels of precipitation over the past few weeks, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is maintaining a statewide drought watch.
The DEP said stream flows are responding but longer-term precipitation deficits persist in many areas.
To preserve water:
• Run the dishwasher and washing machine less often, and only with full loads.
• Don’t let the faucet run while brushing your teeth or shaving. Take shorter showers. For example, consider not washing your hair daily.
