Danbury, and the majority of the State of Connecticut, remain in a Severe Drought.  Danbury water customers are now being required by the City to take some steps to help mitigate future problems if the conditions become prolonged.  All residential customers should voluntarily stop the irrigation of lawns and gardens. All non-residential and commercial customers, and all condominium and apartment complexes, should stop the use of irrigation systems effective immediately.  People are also being asked to postpone planting any new lawns or vegetation, fix leaky plumbing and fixtures, and discontinue washing vehicles and equipment.  The Danbury Water Department will be patrolling neighborhoods to monitor these irrigation restrictions.
