Water Restriction

The Water Department would like to inform residents that we are under a WATER RESTRICTION for outside watering from May 1, 2026 until September 30, 2026, per our Water Management Act.  Watering hours are from 7:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. with a hand-held hose only.  

SPRINKLERS ARE NOT ALLOWED UNLESS YOU HAVE A PRIVATE WELL FOR IRRIGATION.

ALSO: Under no circumstances are irrigation systems allowed to be on the town's water system. (tapped off the resident's water line).  Irrigation systems are only allowed if the homeowner has a private well for irrigation. 

If you do have a private well for irrigation, the homeowner MUST contact the Water Department and pick up a well placard that can be displayed somewhere that is visible from the street.

ENFORCEMENT:  These restrictions are enabled by Article 3-15 of the Hanson By-Laws.  The Water Department will enforce these rules with fines if not adhered to.

Thank you for your continued support in protecting our valuable water source.  For any questions, please contact the Water Department at 781-447-1200.
