Water Shortages Rise as Sixth Day Heat Grips Northeast
The sixth day of a Northeast heat wave pushes temperatures into the 90s, raising death risks for heart patients and triggering water restrictions across many municipalities. Officials cite limited rainfall and higher cooling demand for shortages as traffic jams grow from overheated roads and some power outages affect thousands. A Westchester blackout hit 70,000 customers, while hydrants are being limited to protect water pressure for fire crews. In Clyde and Victor, local tanks ran dry prompting emergency pumping and warnings to conserve water.
