Yes, we have had a bit of rain lately, but we need more!

Despite intermittent spring rainfall and considerable snowfall last winter, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has issued a drought warning for Chester County. Per DEP's guidance, residents, businesses and farmers are asked to voluntarily reduce their daily water usage by 10-15% or 6-9 gallons per person. For reference, the average showerhead uses about two gallons of water per minute, while washing dishes by hand can use up to 27 gallons.

Residents and businesses that rely on private wells and on-site septic systems should also remain mindful of water use.
