\n BEL AIR, Md.<\/span>, June 4, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — As communities across Maryland are experiencing a summer expected to bring above-normal temperatures and drier-than-average conditions, Maryland American Water is encouraging customers to take simple steps to use water more efficiently and help protect local water supplies.<\/p>\n

Drought conditions across the U.S. have expanded significantly in recent months, reaching the highest percentage of national drought coverage in\u00a0nearly four\u00a0years. According to the\u00a0U.S. Drought Monitor<\/a>,\u00a0the State of Maryland\u00a0is currently experiencing severe drought conditions as a result of three consecutive years of dry weather and recent lower-than-average rainfall. Based on the Maryland Department of the Environment’s recent drought level classification of severe, Maryland American Water is\u00a0highlighting the importance of\u00a0wise\u00a0water use\u00a0across local communities. Combined with forecasts calling for hotter-than-normal temperatures and below-average rainfall across many regions this summer, these conditions are expected to increase pressure on water\u00a0resources and seasonal water demand.<\/p>\n

“At Maryland American Water, wise water use is more than a seasonal concern, it’s an everyday commitment,” said Jeff Barton, Operations Manager at Maryland American Water. “As temperatures rise and water demand increases during the summer months, simple actions taken at home and outdoors can make a meaningful difference in helping protect local water resources. Reduced usage can also result in lower water bills as well.”<\/p>\n

Maryland\u00a0American Water encourages customers to practice\u00a0wise\u00a0water use habits throughout the summer. From adjusting your watering schedule to fixing household leaks, every drop counts. Here are some helpful outdoor tips:\u00a0<\/p>\n
