Mayor Adams emphasized the importance of mindful water usage, stating, "Mother Nature is in charge, and so we must make sure we adjust," urging residents to conserve.
The city experienced its driest October in over 150 years, receiving just 0.01 inches of rain, a stark contrast to the normal 4.4 inches expected.
With ongoing aqueduct repairs and dry weather compounding the situation, the mayor reminded residents to report leaks and adjust their water usage practices.
New York City uses 1.1 billion gallons of water daily, but conservation efforts since 1979 have reduced this by 35%, thanks in part to improved leak detection.
