据美国媒体1月9日报道,由于供水管道被冻住,俄亥俄州数万居民遭遇“水荒”。为此,政府建议居民不要洗衣洗澡,就连冲厕所的次数也要尽量减少。   Officials at Avon Lake Municipal Utilities west of Cleveland said Wednesday that the valves at the plant are caked in ice. Although they are still able to draw water, the rate is below typical demands -- which means several surrounding cities could be hit by a veritable(名副其实的) drought.   In a message on the city of Avon's official website, officials called on residents to hold off on doing anything that uses a lot of water.   Avon Mayor Bryan Jensen sent out an emergency messages to locals asking them to hold off on laundry, baths and showers, according to Cleveland.com.   "We even ask people to refrain from flushing toilets as often as they used to until this can be resolved," Jensen said.   The plant website said it provides water to over 200,000 people living in a 680-square-mile area made up of seven counties -- including Lorain, Cuyahoga, Medina, Erie, Huron, Ashland and Wayne.
