August 26, 2022 (Wellesley, MA) – Warm weather and a summer with very little rain continues to impact all of Massachusetts as conditions in communities across the State, and in Wellesley, are at significant drought levels. The situation is causing extreme stress to many local water supplies and raising the risk of wildfires.

As summer winds down, Town and Health officials are reminding all residents that it’s still important and necessary to follow day-to-day water conservation efforts and be aware of fire regulations and precautions. Earlier this summer, the Department of Public Works (DPW) put in place mandatory watering restrictions which help make sure there is enough water to meet critical needs and support fire suppression. Under these restrictions, no watering is allowed on Mondays to help our water system recover from heavier weekend use, with alternate day watering based on addresses allowed on Tuesday through Sunday.
