CONWAY — The statewide drought wears on, with officials urging residents to practice conservation and to carefully use their wells, according to James Martin of the state Department of Environmental Services in Concord.
“It’s really important to get the word out that there is need to conserve due to the moderate or extreme drought depending on where you are in the state. People need to think of how they are using their water because once your well runs dry, it’s sort of too late,” said Martin Wednesday.
