Data released Thursday shows much of 海角换妻 is experiencing low-level drought conditions, even after rain flooded parts of the state this week.
Most of the state is 鈥渁bnormally dry鈥� . But southwest Fairfield County is in a 鈥渕oderate drought鈥� despite the rain, .
Peter Fazekas, spokesperson for Aquarion Water Company, said Aquarion is seeing the issue reflected at its Greenwich and Stamford facilities.
鈥淭hose numbers are currently dropping pretty quickly,鈥� he said. 鈥淎nd we'd obviously like to slow their decrease since we're just at the beginning of July here.鈥�
A 鈥渕oderate鈥� drought can depleted reservoirs, poor crop outcomes or even wildfires. But soil for crops is still adequate for farmers at this time, said in a Thursday meeting.
Aquarion asked customers in Greenwich, Stamford, Darien and New Canaan , Fazekas said.
鈥淚t's not surprising based on the heat and the lack of rainfall, that we're hitting this first drought advisory,鈥� Fazekas said. 鈥淚f we could get customers to simply make some simple changes, hopefully we can avoid hitting other triggers later in the summer.鈥�
According to Fazekas, the next drought 鈥渢rigger鈥� would require a 20% reduction in water usage.
