The Cambridge Water Department (CWD) would like to inform the Cambridge community about the latest water drought status. Earlier this week, the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) elevated the Cambridge and Northeast region drought level status to Level 2 (Significant Drought).
Under a Level 2 (Significant Drought), all nonessential outdoor water uses remain banned, except the watering of ornamentals and flower gardens with drip irrigation. Hand-held hose or watering cans may be permitted.
The annual event is a fun, alternative way to share information about Cambridge water and past participants have greatly enjoyed the experience.
The State has announced that Cambridge and the Northeast Region of the Commonwealth has been downgraded from a Level 1 – Mild Drought to Level 0 - Normal Conditions.
