New York City issued its first drought warning in 22 years and paused major repairs to its main water aqueduct out of concern for the lack of rainfall
FILE - Tunnel workers push equipment up a rail track to a machine boring a 2.5-mile bypass tunnel for the Delaware Aqueduct in Marlboro, N.Y., May 16, 2018. New York City on Monday issued its first drought warning in 22 years after months of little rain -- and will restart the flow of drinking water from an out-of-service.
“New Yorkers should not under estimate the dry weather and what it means,” Adams said at a news conference, noting the recent fires. ”The fire risk is high and the fire risk is real." Water-saving measures planned for the coming weeks will include washing buses and subway cars less frequently and limiting water use for fountains and golf courses, the mayor said.
