Seasonal Water Restrictions Start In Lynnfield

LYNNFIELD, MA — Seasonal water use restrictions are in place in Lynnfield. The restrictions started on May 1 and end on September 30. A Level 2 restriction is in place, meaning outdoor lawn and garden watering is only allowed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. throughout the week.

The Lynnfield Center Water District maintains a year-round watering restriction schedule as mandated by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. More information about the restrictions is available online here.

“With many families home on a more consistent basis and warmer weather fast approaching, water consumption throughout the District remains higher than usual,” said Superintendent John Scenna. “We encourage residents to be cognizant of their usage and thank them for adhering to these guidelines over the next few months.”

Varying levels of restriction still allow for outdoor use, just at times when overall capacity on the system is not as high.

Staff will continue to monitor daily water usage and Ipswich River water levels, and make changes to the restrictions if demand begins to approach a supply capacity. Should additional restrictions go into effect, notifications will be published on the LCWD website and signs will be posted in the community.

LCWD continues to explore means in which to improve its infrastructure in order to remain sustainable and explore options to supplement its water supply. The LCWD Annual District Meeting is scheduled to be held on June 15 at 7 p.m.
