Drought dilemmas are intensifying in Rockland County. As of Thursday, the whole county is under strict mandatory water restrictions. JohnBDias explains.
"We got about 250 raindrops yesterday, not enough to give us what we need. We can use a good week of rain," said Sam Kleinberg, farm hand at the Orchards of Concklin., leading to emergency orders issued Thursday, which limit water usage."Now we have to wait for them to ask us? Yeah, which is kind of weird, because every time they sit down, 'Do you want water?'" said Bernard Bohunicky, manager of Art Cafe in Nyack.
"We need the water for us, for our consumption, so I think that's more important than the lawn," Nyack resident Carmen Brown said.Residents in parts of Connecticut, Long Island asked to limit water usage"We do need to reduce demands to make sure that we can stretch the other sources," Rulli said.
