    Residents are asked to take extra measures to conserve water, which should only be used for essentials, avoid filling tubs, pools, watering lawns, and washing vehicles.

    Water levels in the dam are dropping faster than the inflow, putting the town of Hughes Brook supply at risk. This has led to the need to put water restrictions in place. Residents are asked to take extra measures to conserve water, which should only be used for essentials, avoid filling tubs, pools, watering lawns, and washing vehicles. Officials say if water is not conserved, the dam may run dry this week.
