The mandatory seasonal water use restrictions are in effect from May 1st until September 30. We are currently in stage 1 water conservation level.
a) Level 1 (Mild Drought): All nonessential outdoor water uses are restricted to no more than one day per week, before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m., except that watering of ornamentals and flower gardens with drip irrigation, hand-held house or watering cans may be permitted. Though the State of Massachusetts has currently not declared a drought, we are forced in our Water Management Act Water Permit to be one level more strict that the State drought declaration. This is because we exceeded the residential gallons per capita per day target of 65 gallons in previous years, including 2022. Thank you for your attention and compliance in this matter. Appreciatively, Darin LaFalam Water Superintendent
