Addison Drought Not Eased By Soaking Rains
Addison County's drought remains critical despite recent rains across Vermont. Governor Hoff praised the emergency water program as water is pumped into Addison County and ponds on three drought‑stricken farms are filled. He noted plans to act quickly if a rural water systems bill passes Congress and urged awareness of federal aid. Putney Paper Co plans 3500 feet of piping to bring water from the Connecticut River to resume operations, employing about 100 workers. Special water crisis teams began a two‑day Northeast tour to gauge quick relief, after White House talks with Rockefeller and other officials.
