The water & sewer department is working with local businesses to help encourage water conservation. Water & Sewer manager Eric Carty and owner of Weston nurseries Peter Mezitt talked about how the purchase of a rain barrel can help reduce water consumption. Hopkinton residents are also being offered a discount on rain barrels.
Water & Sewer Manager mentioned that Weston Nurseries, Angels Garden Center and Evergreen Garden Center are working with the town to raise awareness for water conservation; "we're unfortunately mandated by the state, to put on water restrictions every year". Carty mentioned that the garden centers are working with the town to show how patrons can water their gardens properly while being cautions of water use.
