An End to the Drought — for Now.
Over the last six months, every time it rained or snowed and there were a lot of days of rain and snow, all one could say was that we needed the precipitation.
Today, state and municipal water reservoirs are again full.
However, we urge our residents not to forgot last summer when lawns turned brown in many communities due to a watering ban.
In Boston, Mayor Martin Walsh continues to fund work to fix the old water and sewer lines that are beneath our roads.
This work will save millions of gallons of water.
Aside from making sure that the infrastructure that delivers water to homes is working properly, the greatest savings of water will come from residents in their homes.
Some tips are as follows: Check all faucets, pipes and toilets for leaks.
Install water-saving showerheads and ultra-low-flush toilets.
Wash full loads of clothes.
