"Effective immediately, we are prohibiting grilling in our parks, and we need all New Yorkers to take commonsense steps to prevent brush fires," Adams said in a statement. "Getting through this drought will take all of us working together, and every drop counts, so let's keep doing our part to save as much water as we can."
The city saw its first measurable rainfall since September on November 10, but the shower dropped less than a quarter of an inch of rain, and the city is heading into another dry week, according to the National Weather Service New York.
Mayor Eric Adams last week issued a citywide drought watch after a historically dry October, urging New Yorkers to voluntarily conserve water and ordering city agencies to start making plans for a longer-term drought.
