The Suffolk County Water Authority, which last week urged its customers to refrain from lawn watering and other high-use activities due to drought conditions and strains on the water supply system, has eased off on those requests. Although the Stage 1 Water Alert announced July 23 remains in effect, SCWA, in an email to customers on Tuesday, August 19, announced that water supply conditions had eased. “Thanks to the conservation efforts of our customers, conditions have begun to improve since we issued our Stage 1 Water Alert,” SCWA stated. “We are grateful for the steps taken to reduce usage during ... by Stephen J.
