The areas impacted are:
Northumberland County
Ralpho Township, Zerbe Township, Coal Township, and Mt. Carmel Township.
Columbia County
Conyngham Township and Centralia Borough.
Schuylkill County
Butler Township, Gordon Borough, and Girardville Borough.
The mandatory water conservation applies to all nonessential residential water use, including washing cars, trucks, or any automobile or mobile equipment and power washing of any kind.
Aqua Pennsylvania also gives tips on how to limit water use:
Don't leave the water running when brushing your teeth or shaving.
Take showers, not baths: Showers are more efficient and use less water. The shorter the shower, the better. A 10-minute shower uses half the amount of water as a full bathtub.
Cut back on rinsing dishes. Scrape off the food and let the dishwasher do the rest. Only run the dishwasher when it is full.
If customers have any specific questions or concerns, you can call Aqua Pennsylvania at 877-987-2782.

Severe Weather Awareness Week: The dangers of rip currents
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Many people believe hurricanes or tornadoes rank as Florida's most dangerous weather phenomena. But the real threat is often unseen. Rip currents take the lives of more Floridians than hurricanes, lightning, and tornadoes combined. 'Rip currents are deadly and a large reason for that is people look at the Gulf and they think of it almost like a lake. And then, you know, they get there and they see two-foot waves and they think, 'well, that's ok, that's not that big of a deal.' And so they get into the Gulf and they feel this tug and then, you know, they start to panic,' Senior Service Hydrologist with the National Weather Service in Tallahassee Kelly Godsey said. Walton County woman loses $129,500 in Bitcoin scam If you are stuck in a rip current, there are steps you should take. 'First thing we tell people is to stay calm. Don't panic. If you're a good swimmer, you can swim parallel to shore and you'll land on a sandbar and you can walk in or just float with the rip current, float with the current. It'll eventually let you go. And you could swim in. If you can float on your back, wave your hands for help. If you see someone struggling in a rip current, if you see someone in the water having a tough time, please do not take any unnecessary risk upon yourself. Activate the 9-1-1 system, call 9-1-1, and have a lifeguard respond to the scene,' PCB Beach Safety Director Daryl Paul said. But officials say bringing awareness to the dangers of rip currents and teaching people how to take proper precautions is the most effective way to keep beach-goers safe. 'Learn the beach flags, know what they mean. The National Weather Service puts out a surf zone forecast each day that contains the forecast for rip currents, for the surf conditions. So the beach conditions, check those out. And as always, listen to local officials. These are folks who know the beach. They work on the beach every day,' Godsey said. With increased preventative measures. Panama City Beach brought down its rescues from 357 in 2023 to 105 in 2024. Officials say these incidents likely would have resulted in drownings if their lifeguards weren't there. 'You have a one in 18 million chance of drowning in front of a properly trained lifeguard. Ok the city has lifeguards stationed here at the Russell Field city pier right across from for your part so please visit this beach this is the shoreline. Please make contact with the lifeguards,' Paul said. Rip currents affect even the strongest of swimmers. You should listen to local officials and stay out of the gulf when instructed. Wednesday's focus is on thunderstorms and tornadoes. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
