Municipal
Water use restriction update August 5th 2010
Under the State’s water management act
regulations and as stipulated by our water withdrawal permit, we
are required to implement further water restrictions. These
restrictions are based on the current level of the Hopkinton
Reservoir. Due to
the continued decline in reservoir levels, all outdoor use is
now restricted with the following exemptions:
·
Hand watering of flowers and vegetable gardens
before 9:00 AM and after 5:00 PM.
·
Where required by regulation
·
To meet the core functions of a business
·
For health and safety reasons
·
For the maintenance of livestock
These restrictions apply only to users of
the municipal water system. Thank for your cooperation in this
extremely important matter to help maintain an adequate water
supply for daily essential needs and fire protection.
Regards,
Eric J. Carty
Water/Sewer Manager
