"Thanks to everyday New Yorkers stepping up to conserve water, and above-average precipitation over the last two months, we are now able to safely lift the drought warning for our city," Mayor Eric Adams said on January 3rd. "By working together and heeding officials' advice, we were able to avoid a much more serious drought emergency. The work of New Yorkers in conserving water these past two months has paid off, and now we can end this historic drought."
'Under Governor Hochul's leadership, DEC experts will continue to monitor conditions and work with New York City officials and localities across the state to identify any necessary steps and actions needed to help prevent additional shortages,' New York state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Interim Commissioner Sean Mahar said.
