Water Restrictions

Water is our most precious natural resource.  Towns spend large sums of our tax dollars finding sources of water and treating it to drinking quality standards.  Our communities require adequate supplies AT ALL TIMES for human consumption and fire protection,  In the summer months, this supply can be severely threatened because too much water is being used to irrigate lawns.  This is why towns implement "watering bans" to restrict water use.

Private wells and municipal wells often draw from the same underground aquifers.  Do your part to protect your community's water supply so there is enough water for drinking and fire protection.  People are more important than lawns -- if your town has implemented a watering ban (see below), be sure to comply with all regulations.
