Ban on Non-Essential Outdoor Water Use

  • No non-essential outdoor water use, including:

    • Irrigating lawns or landscaping with sprinklers or automatic systems

    • Washing vehicles, driveways, decks, or building exteriors

What Is Allowed

Why This Matters

The Blackstone Water Department monitors water use and tank levels daily. Restrictions are necessary to:

  • Maintain water pressure in homes

Enforcement

These restrictions are mandatory and violations are subject to fines.
