Staff Report
The town has instituted a ban on outdoor watering, citing a closed well and excessive heat over several days.
The following was sent today via the town’s emergency response system:
“Due to the ongoing issue with the Kelley Well No. 1 being offline and the excessive heat and water use, the North Attleborough Water Division is implementing an immediate ban on all outdoor water use. The excessive water use is causing the water tank levels to drop, which can impede fire fighting due to low pressures.
Please refrain from any outdoor watering, washing of vehicles or washing of exterior surfaces, such as buildings and parking lots. If you have an irrigation system, please make sure that it is turned off and not set on a timer.
This full outdoor watering ban will be in place until 5 a.m. Wednesday, July 23.”
