The Centerville-Osterville-Marstons Mills Water Department has implemented a voluntary water conservation program. Implementing these important conservation measures could help to avoid a mandatory water ban.
- Please avoid all outside lawn watering (including automatic irrigation systems)
use between the hours of 5:00 AM and 8:00 PM. - Water lawn just two days a week.
- Residents living in odd numbered houses are asked to water lawns and gardens
on Tuesday & Thursday only. Residents living in even numbered homes are
requested to water lawns and gardens on Monday & Wednesday. - Water only when necessary. Please be aware of the advance weather forecast.
If wind and rain are in the forecast make adjustments to your watering
schedule to minimize water consumption. - Maintain your lawn at a height of at least two (2) inches. This practice will
protect roots and retain soil moisture. - Install rain shutoff devices on automatic irrigation systems.
- Automatic irrigation system owners are asked to check moisture sensor
controls for proper operation. - Water Conservation items are available at no charge upon request.
- Use water wisely!
Thank you,
