CHITTENANGO, N.Y. — Last week, the Onondaga County Water Authority announced that the water conservation is set to end when repairs are done. This is said to be January 16th. Madison County has announced that water conservation efforts have been incredibly efficient and are doing well amidst the crisis.
The county has been receiving its water from the City of Oneida during this conservation period.
Jim Cunningham, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, said, “They’re about a four and a half million gallon per day facility, and it seems like our usage is less than their capacity.”
While the county hasn’t been using the reservoir water, they did say it has gained a foot over this past weekend.
During all of this, there has been a massive demand for water at local supermarkets in affected areas. A worker at the Tops in Chittenango said that due to the high demand, way more shipments of water have been coming in.
