Water restrictions in effect

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

On Tuesday, July 1, the DPW issued the following announcement:

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 precipitation and water demand
return 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, or office@hanoverdpw.org . For more information, go to
