Drought Media Advisory: 8/19/2002
(02/71) Trenton—Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bradley M. Campbell will hold a press availability tomorrow, August 20, to announce revisions to the current drought restrictions. The availability will be held in the DEP courtyard, 401 E. State St., Trenton at 12:30 p.m.
A combination of unusually hot and dry weather conditions, an increase in water demand, and declining water levels statewide necessitate an immediate directive regarding water use.
Campbell will issue an advised Administrative Order, which outlines specific water use modifications.
