Despite recent snowstorms, much of Connecticut remains "abnormally dry" or "moderate drought," according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Aquarion Water Company is urging residents in Wilton to voluntarily conserve water as its reservoir system drops to 65% capacity. Despite recent snowfall, experts believe this reflects longer-term rainfall trends. The company is asking customers to voluntarily reduce their water use to aid recovery ahead of spring and summer, when outdoor watering demand increases.
