>>State Declares Drought Watch For 36 Counties
(Harrisburg, PA) -- Officials are asking for voluntary water conservation in some parts of the state for which they've declared a drought watch. Perry, Dauphin, Lebanon, Berks, Lehigh and Northampton Counties are among the areas being asked to not use as much water. The most recent map from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows most of the region under the "abnormally dry" category, which is a step away from drought.
