Water District Rescinds Voluntary Water Restrictions

Effective Friday, October 4th, the Dedham-Westwood Water District has rescinded voluntary water restrictions, Stage I, which were put in place in May of this year.

"I would like to thank all of our customers who diligently made efforts to conserve water by voluntarily complying with this year's restrictions," said Executive Director Blake Lukis.

Customers are encouraged to practice voluntary water conservation efforts year-round inside and
outside their homes. Tips to conserve water are available on the water district's website, Facebook, Twitter/X, and
Instagram.

Under the previous Stage I voluntary water restrictions, the Water District asked customers to voluntarily refrain on five days of the week from non-essential outdoor watering such as watering lawns, washing vehicles, unnecessary washing down driveways and sidewalks, and other uses of water hoses.
