Prolonged drought in our region has lowered critical drinking water supplies that support Charlotte and surrounding communities along the Catawba River. Intermittent rainfall helps, but water supplies are still far below normal, and Mother Nature isn't giving us a clear sign as to when the drought will end.

Everyone needs water, and we need everyone's help.

It’s up to each of us to make a conscious decision every time we turn the tap. Whether that means cutting your shower a few minutes short or using your towels an extra few days, your conservation efforts help extend our water supply.

Visiting this site is a great start.
