Westford urges residents to follow outdoor watering restrictions amid drought

Town Manager Kristen Lass said Westford remains in a drought and reminded residents that outdoor watering restrictions are in effect amid warm temperatures.

"Also want to remind residents that we are still in a drought uh with the warm temperatures this week and potentially into next week, uh we have have outdoor watering restrictions," Lass said, urging residents to be mindful of outdoor watering so town wells remain available for summer needs.

Lass noted the restrictions are intended to preserve water supplies and asked residents to limit nonessential outdoor watering while the town monitors conditions. The town website is the posted source for any updates on restrictions or changes to water-use guidance.

She urged residents to consider limiting lawn watering and other outdoor uses that can be postponed until the drought conditions ease.
