As the warm weather is now upon us and despite some recent rain, we would like to remind everyone that we are still in a State declared severe drought. There is no lawn watering or non-essential outdoor use allowed. Ground water levels remain low and our pumping capacity is still dismissed from the prolonged drought beginning last fall. The fire danger is still elevated with several brush fires in the area already. Please see our website for details. https://www.hopkintonma.gov/water_use_restrictions/index.php
