Dry Times: Tracking Water Hogs and the Fight to Conserve

from 27Speaks · host The Express News Group

It’s been a hot, dry summer, and in late July the Suffolk County Water Authority issued a Stage 1 Water Alert urging its customers to immediately reduce water consumption. The editors are joined this week by senior reporter Michael Wright, who has a story in the paper naming the South Fork’s biggest “Water Hogs,” and Daniel Dubois, SCWA’s director of communications and external affairs, who explains how summer demand impacts water supply and shares steps that residents can take to help alleviate the situation.
