As the state continues operating under a Stage 2 drought advisory, water companies and municipalities in Fairfield County are urging people to use less water.

“In terms of our water supply, we are in a very healthy spot," George Logan, of Aquarion Water Company says. "But these flash droughts and the more frequent occurrence of droughts, have really put us all on alert."

Aquarion says its Eastern Fairfield County water distribution system is currently at 80%, but reservoir levels are dropping because of demand and lack of precipitation.

“The idea is to conserve water while we still have it," Logan says. "So if this drought continues, we place ourselves in the best position we can come the spring."

Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling issued a drought advisory for the city Friday evening, asking residents to stop watering their lawns, shut off irrigation systems, and more.

“No one knows how long this drought is going to last," Logan says. “Let’s just be conscious and make sure we understand how important it is to conserve water."
