Laptop Battery The statewide drought emergency has been lifted after 10 months because a rain-drenched and snowy autumn has solved the short-term crisis facing New Jersey's water supply, Gov. James E. McGreevey said Wednesday.
McGreevey lifted the state's drought emergency on Jan. 8. The state cited heavy rains and 10 months' worth of restrictions on car washing and lawn watering as its reasons for lifting the drought emergency, officials said.

The state' month old statewide drought emergency has been lifted. Gov. James E. McGreevey made the announcement today, saying that large amounts of rain in the past few months as well as the state's quick action in imposing water use restrictions last year combined to bring the crisis to an end.

Campbell's order supplements the state's drought emergency, which Gov. James E. McGreevey issued on March 4. Last month, most of New Jersey received less than half the 4.5 inches of rain it normally receives in July. Ground water levels continue to be low and reservoirs, while better than they were earlier in the year, quarters full. By Anthony S. 2002

Gov. James E. McGreevey's sudden and surprising executive order last weekend halting development in Egg Harbor, Hamilton and Galloway townships is, in a word, confusing. The questions aren't about the mechanics of the moratorium. Those are easy enough. No new construction permits can be issued in the three townships until the drought emergency is over or the state completes a study determining that the region has enough water to handle the rapid growth in these townships.

Notebooks The Metedeconk, which flows through Brick Township, provides drinking water to more than 100,000 residents. The Category 1 protection level prohibits any new discharge into the water, said Bradley Campbell, the state environmental commissioner.

Hard Drive Patrick O'Keefe, CEO of the New Jersey Builders Association, urged the McGreevey administration to consider affordable housing along with protecting the state's water supply.
