Danvers Extends Water Ban To Level 3

DANVERS, MA — Danvers residents will have to do their lawn watering at night three nights a week — if using sprinklers or irrigation systems — as the town moves to Level 3 in its water restriction status.

Level 3 drought conditions allowed lawn and garden watering by sprinkler or in-ground system on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays only from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. Watering is banned at all other times.

Hand watering with handheld hoses with nozzles and watering cans is allowed anytime. Car washing is also allowed.

Officials ask residents to watch for possible changes in water restriction levels as the summer progresses. The town will make any changes known through signage, its social medial accounts, local cable access and media.

"The small changes that you make can make a big difference," the town said.
