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.

Expand internet access by installing free public Wi-Fi in Mayor Alfred Vellucci Plaza in Inman Square. This proposal will further advance equitable internet access to Cambridge residents.

The City and broader region was previously in a Level 2 - Significant Drought before being elevated to a Level 3 – Critical Drought last week.
