The Drought in Charlotte NC Hasn't Gone Anywhere

Here in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, we are still classified as under "Exceptional Drought" Conditions according to the latest update from the NC Drought Management Advisory Council's latest update on February 5, 2008. They have a statewide map of current drought conditions here.
While we have seen some rain in Charlotte over the last month or two, it has not solved the drought issue, all it's really done is postpone any further water restrictions for the time being.
Currently in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, we're under mandatory water restrictions which have not changed since September. Watering lawns or use of sprinkler systems is still not allowed. There is no warning given for violations - they'll just send you the bill for the penalty which starts at $100 for residential customers and increases for repeat offenses.
For further details on what specifically is and is not allowed under the current water restrictions the county utilities website has a page devoted to explaining the restrictions, penalties, and encouraged conservation methods.
It does seem like we've been living with the current drought situation for quite a while now, and its important to remember that even though we're getting occasional rain, the overall water situation is far from ideal and will take time to recover from the significant depletion we've experienced.
