DeWitt, N.Y. \u2014 A DeWitt waste hauler is embracing its \u201ctrashy side\u201d during a push to conserve water so the local water system doesn\u2019t run dry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Syracuse Haulers is keeping its fleet of trucks \u201cas dirty as operationally possible\u201d until water restrictions are lifted, the company said in a social media post<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur home is right here in East Syracuse, and like our neighbors, we\u2019re making changes to help preserve water during this disruption,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n

A rupture to a major water transmission line operated by the Onondaga County Water Authority has caused<\/a> a water shortage in six towns in eastern Onondaga County and western Madison County. Officials have issued<\/a> a mandatory conservation notice, telling residents and businesses to limit their non-essential water usage.<\/p>\n

Water consumption appears to be trending down, officials said. But more cutbacks are needed or certain areas could be out of water as soon as this weekend.<\/p>\n

Other businesses are also cutting back on their water usage.<\/p>\n

Byrne Dairy, in DeWitt, is bringing in tankers of water.<\/p>\n

Lotte Biologics, a pharmaceutical company in East Syracuse, said it\u2019s changed its process to use less water.<\/p>\n

And a medical facility in DeWitt, which officials declined to name, has rented portable toilets for staff to use so patients can continue to use indoor toilets.<\/p>\n

Repairing the broken water pipe is a complicated process that could take until early January, officials said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DeWitt, N.Y. \u2014 A DeWitt waste hauler is embracing its \u201ctrashy side\u201d during a push to conserve water…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":368430,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[192,79],"class_list":["post-368429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=368429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368429\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
