Municipal water customers in Liverpool and Brooklyn can let their taps run a little longer.

The Region of Queens lifted its voluntary water conservation request on Wednesday.

In a Facebook post, the region said that recent rainfall “has restored the Town Lake to a level above the conservation threshold,” though it’s still not at full capacity.

The conservation directive had been in place since early October, as the region dealt with ongoing drought conditions.
