Pennsylvania American Water is asking its customers to reduce their water usage amid drought concerns. In a press release issued on Tuesday state residents were asked to cut back on how much water they are using by around 10-15%. PAW said that would be about 11-16 gallons per day, according to the DEP. “We’re asking our customers to observe the DEP’s request and be mindful of their nonessential water use during this drought watch,” said Jim Runzer, vice president or operations for Pennsylvania American Water. “Our Sources of supply are currently adequate to meet the needs or our customers as we vigilantly monitor our drinking water sources, we want to mitigate the potential for more severe conditions that could lead to stricter conservation in the future.” The DEP issued a drought watch for many Pennsylvania counties last week.
