Rainfall falls short as drought grips Aiken area
Aiken County faces continuing drought despite a tenth inch of rain. In response, voluntary water restrictions apply in parts of the county with College Acres Public Works telling customers to cut use to 75 gallons per person daily and 300 gallons per household daily, plus limits on domestic landscaping and water recreation. The move follows a May 25 memo from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources upgrading drought status to moderate in 27 counties and urging drought ordinances or plans.
