Thanks to Dedham-Westwood Water District for contributing this news to Westwood Minute.
Dedham-Westwood Water District is requesting that the public voluntarily refrain from non-essential outdoor watering, beginning Monday, May 15, 2023, as DWWD implements Stage I water restrictions to help conserve water.
For Westwood customers, voluntary compliance means that outdoor watering should be limited to Tuesdays and Fridays. For Dedham customers, outdoor watering should be limited to Mondays and Thursdays.
In Stage 1 water restrictions, customers are asked to help conserve water from affected public water supplies in all practicable ways. This includes, but is not limited to, refraining from the following uses of water:

Sunny, with a high of 91 and low of 63 degrees. Sunny for the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
This needed to happen 5 years ago. But now the real wrangling begins as MPT will fight to get as much $$$ as they can from the state as possible”just compensation.”
I appreciate all of the work and time that the FS1 Steering Committee and Select Board have put into this process. I've also noticed a big difference in communication around this from the town on Facebook and Westwood Wire. This feels like a much different process than the first time around.
Combing the FS1 vote with the general election makes a ton of sense, and in fact, makes me wonder why not do this will ALL elections instead of holding town elections in April?
Just a reminder that you can e-mail the FS1 Committee at FS1Committee@westwoodma.gov with questions/feedback, etc.
Two different votes for the Project?
First one in October for 'site selection, budget, and funding sources' for a new FS1.
Then, a November vote for 'designing, constructing, equipping, and furnishing' of a new FS1.
Seems repetitive.
