What is the latest information regarding drought in West Milford?
Latest Update from the NJ Department of Environmental Protection: The drought status by the NJ Department of Environment Protection indicates no current resrictions or exemptions in our area at this time. However, residents are strongly encouraged to conserve water. A typical resident uses about 110 gallons of water per day. About 60% of that water is used in the bathroom. Home management ideas to conserve water are as follows: In the bathroom: *Install a new low-flow toilet. New units give a complete flush with only 1 1/2 gallons per flush. *Repair leaky faucets and toilets. *Flush toilets less often. In many cases, the toilet can be used several times for liquid waste before flushing. *Take showers, instead of tub baths. Showers use less water then tubs (about 5 gallons per inch per tub). *Take shorter showers. *Install low-flush shower heads, hand held showers with pause-control, and temperature balance valve controls.
