Dear fellow Hanoverians:
We all received the call on Friday regarding the town’s new water
restrictions, and I don’t know about you, but I for one was not home
when the call came in, and I always appreciate a written version of a
verbal message! Remember too that this will now be in the ATOTW
archives (link at the bottom of every e-mail) for your reference as
the summer continues. Special thanks to DPW Director Victor Diniak for
e-mailing me on a Sunday with the following information:

HANOVER WATER RESTRICTIONS
Due to water demand exceeding the ability of the Town’s well fields
to adequately supply such demand, and the lack of appreciable amounts
of rain predicted in the immediate future, the Hanover Town Manager
has declared a State of Water Supply Conservation under Town Bylaw
6-24. Effective immediately, the outdoor use of water is restricted to
odd numbered homes on odd days and even numbered homes on even days
between the hours of 6 am to 9 am and 6 pm to 9 pm. During this
period, outdoor water use shall be limited to hand held hoses only.
The use of sprinklers of any kind is prohibited. The restrictions will
be reevaluated as fall rains return groundwater levels to their normal
state. Any person violating the water restrictions shall be liable to
the Town in the amount of $50.00 for the first violation and $100.00
for each subsequent violation in accordance with the Hanover Town
By-Law 6-24. Private wells must be registered at the DPW office
(781-826-3189) and a “PRIVATE WELL” sign put out. This restriction
is necessary to ensure an adequate supply of water for drinking and
for firefighting purposes. Residents with questions regarding these
restrictions may contact the offices of the Hanover DPW at
781-826-3189.
