CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VA—Due to severe drought conditions, the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors approved a declaration of mandatory water-use restrictions at their Oct. 10 meeting. These restrictions will take effect on Monday, Oct. 15. (more…)

I guess nice weather with no rain isn’t such a good thing. We are beginning a season of drought and Chesterfield County residents and businesses are asked to start conserving water now. Although it’s only voluntary right now, if we don’t get any rainfall by October 10th “The Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors will be asked to implement mandatory water restrictions” (chesterfield.gov).

How can you save water? Chesterfield.gov has released conservation measures to follow.
