All New Jersey residents are encouraged to practice water conservation and Use Water Wisely.

The recent snow storms will not have a significant impact on water supply. We need soaking rains to get out of this drought.

We have rain forecast next few days and another potential snow storm this weekend, which probably will have minimal benefit.
We need consistent, soaking rain to break out of this drought.

Default_DEP_Logo Drinking Water Supply Indicators|2/1/26 DrinkingWaterSupplyIndicators_02012026.pdf DRINKING WATER SUPPLY UPDATE 2/4/26 The indicators this week incorporate the precipitation observed from Winter Storm Fern on January 25. While that storm provided large amounts of snowfall (more than ten inches in much of the state), due to the ongoing cold weather, much of that snow is still frozen in place, and has only offered marginal benefits to water supply to date. Furthermore, consistent precipitation is still needed to improve conditions. New Jersey remains in a Statewide Drought Warning. All New Jerseyans are requested to follow water conservation practices, and to Use Water Wisely. NJ Rainfall totals this week Between 0.95 and 2.27 inches of precipitation were observed between last week’s Drinking Water Supply Indicators (1/23/26) and this week’s (1/30/26).
