The government is asking New Brunswickers to conserve water because an especially dry end of June has lowered the water levels in surface and groundwater tables. The province also suggests taking quick showers, and only running dishwashers and washing machines when they're full. "A slow steady rainfall over a period of days is needed to help improve low water levels," said Carr. As of 1:30 p.m. the province was under a yellow fire advisory, meaning no fires can be lit until 8 p.m. Since July, August and September are traditionally dry times, conserving water is necessary.
