Despite the considerable snowfall that Cambridge and the greater region has had this winter, drought conditions have been elevated due to limited groundwater recharge this winter. The Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) elevated the Northeast Region of Massachusetts, which includes Cambridge, from a Level 2 - Significant Drought to a Level 3 - Critical Drought earlier this week. In response to the ongoing drought, Cambridge has implemented strict water use restrictions.

Achieving this AAA rating from the major credit rating agencies lowers the City’s borrowing costs, which in turn saves taxpayer dollars as Cambridge invests in critical infrastructure and core services.

This spring, the War Memorial will offer a variety of recreational programs for children and adults, including swimming instruction for all ages, youth gymnastics and tennis, karate, yoga, Zumba, and more!
