Mayor Eric Adams lifted the ban on public fireworks and open flames after recent rains improved NYC’s drought situation, although conservation efforts are still necessary.
The city recently benefited from approximately 2.84 inches of rainfall in Central Park, a significant increase from the mere 0.01 inches recorded in October.
Despite the ban being lifted, Mayor Adams emphasized the importance of ongoing water conservation, as NYC's water supply remains only 59.3% of normal capacity.
Reservoir levels remain critically low, with DEP reporting that city reservoirs are more than 23% below the usual capacity, underscoring the need for careful water usage.
