Despite the 96 mm of rain the Quinte area received last month the region is still in what is commonly known as a drought situation.
Officials with Quinte Conservation say the so-called Level 3 condition remains in effect until November 27.
Officials say more rain is needed to recover from 4 months of well below average rainfall and that droughts take some time to recover from.
At a Level 3 condition a 30% reduction or more in water consumption is requested.
