In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The MDE’s drought warning highlights the critical need for vigilance in water usage. Simple, everyday actions can collectively make a substantial difference in preserving local water resources. These include reducing unnecessary outdoor watering, diligently checking for and repairing any water leaks within homes, and consciously conserving water in daily household activities. Such measures are essential to mitigating the impact of the current dry spell and ensuring the availability of water supplies.
For those seeking more detailed information and ongoing updates regarding drought conditions and advisories from the Maryland Department of the Environment, a dedicated resource is available. Residents can access comprehensive information and the latest drought status updates through the MDE’s official news channel. Further inquiries can also be directed to the Washington County’s Public Relations and Marketing Department.
