“All irrigation systems and lawn watering must be turned off”
The Department of Environmental Protection has issued a Level 3 “Critical Drought Warning” for Middlesex County which includes Groton MA.

All outside lawn irrigation is prohibited until further notice.
Please turn your irrigation systems off.
Watering of trees and shrubs with hand held hoses is acceptable.
