        A drought watch has been declared for Westchester County due to prolonged rainfall deficiency, prompting mandatory water restrictions.
        The state Department of Environmental Conservation requires industrial and commercial customers to reduce water consumption by 15%.
        Lawn watering is limited to four hours daily.
        Residential water restrictions follow an odd-even schedule:
        Odd-numbered homes may water lawns Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
        Even-numbered homes may water Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
