Lebanon County Declares Drought Warning Status
On June 29, 2026, Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Drought Task Force escalated Lebanon County’s drought declaration from Drought Watch to its Drought Warning status. This declaration is in response to worsening drought conditions in our region. While some precipitation has occurred in recent months, June was particularly dry, which has slowed groundwater recovery in the area.
In response to this declaration, the City of Lebanon Authority is asking its customers, including daycares, school districts, and other educational institutions, to voluntarily reduce water usage by 10 to 15 percent by implementing the conservation measures listed below. This equates to approximately 13 to 20 gallons of water per day.
Voluntary water conservation measures include:
- No outside use of water (except for newly seeded areas);
- Checking for indoor and outdoor household leaks, particularly toilets that are running;
- Reducing the number of toilet flushes per day;
- Shortening shower time;
- Installing water-saving devices and plumbing fixtures;
- Washing hands quickly;
- Turning off water while brushing teeth;
- Running dishwashers and washing machines with only full loads;
- Using paper plates and cups whenever possible;
- Any establishments serving food should not serve water unless it is requested.
In addition, the Authority requests all bulk customers, municipalities, and institutions to prepare their own contingency plan in the event a “Drought Emergency” is declared.
The Authority continues to do its part in achieving water conservation. It is actively finding and repairing leaking water mains, flushing fire hydrants and sewer mains only when needed, and monitoring water supplies and storage on a daily basis.
Reminder: Feeding the Local Critters
A Summary of the township Municiple Code states that:
It shall be unlawful within North Lebanon Township for any person or persons to own, possess, harbor or control any animal which engages in conduct constituting a nuisance. "Animal" refers to stray or feral domestic animals, small animals, or wild animals that are not pets.
"Nuisance" shall be defined as any act engaged in by an animal digging into flower beds, lawns, children's sandboxes, gardens, or the dispensing of feces or urine and/or otherwise damaging shrubbery, trees or lawns, on premises or property not belonging to the person owning, possessing, harboring or controlling the animal. The only exception is for feeding cats as part of a recognized trap-neuter-return ("TNR") program in conjunction with a local organization or veterinary practice.
We can enjoy our critters and wildlife, but not attempt to own or feed them.

Providing quality live entertainment in the Lebanon Valley since 1934, the Lebanon County Community Concert Association is one of the oldest community concert programs in the country.

Sometimes the going is rough and there is lively discussion as to what artists to schedule, or what date to choose, but one thing has been constant through the years: the love of good music and the desire to bring to the community of Lebanon the joys of live music.
