May – Oct 2026
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 three (3) 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,
Craig A. Crocker
