Managing water resources
As we all know it's been a hot Summer. Many areas of the State have received 3 to 5 inches LESS rainfall during the past 90 days than average. It's not officially a drought by any means, however NHDES is noticing the impact of less rainfall.
If you live in a resident-owned community, do you have a plan in place to conserve water? Do you have a plan to address when Fire or drought conditions are on RED-ALERT?
Saving water can save money, being aware of fire conditions can save lives & property.
Have a safe Summer, avoid the bummer.
