This drought stuff in out of control.

The last time the city entered critical drought restrictions was in July 2024, when the Manchester Reservoir lost 7 feet of water over seven weeks amid drought conditions. Critical restrictions remained in effect for months afterward.

Initially, officials believed the drought caused the severe water loss. It was later determined the loss stemmed from a valve connecting Orr’s Pond and Manchester Reservoir — Attleboro’s two main drinking water sources — that had been left open longer and wider than it should have been. The valve was open for nearly two months.

Sounds like you need to go above 7,500ft…. Get as high as possible.

Looking at that heatwave I happened to look at the normals out there this time of year. Salt Lake City averages 93° and Denver 90° on July 10. That’s as warm as Miami (90°)!

Certainly solve the problem. I'd have a coronary before I got too hot

I mean, ball kind of don’t lie. Ponds and streams are easily the lowest I’ve seen them in my area in the 7 years I’ve been where I’m at.

Noticed last week around Narragansett RI they had water ban signs up all over town. They also had all the beach showers and water turned off. I think Narragansett uses groundwater wells and they are exceptionally low.

The Providence Journal just published an article yesterday but its paywalled. Here is the headline.

To understand why Gov. Dan McKee, in June, declared a drought watch for only the second time in Rhode Island in 24 years, you need only look at the precipitation numbers over the last 12 months.

In nearly every month since June 2025, the state has fallen short of the historical average, leading to a cumulative deficit of 13.4 inches for the year and a total that’s at only 80% of where it should be.
