North Attleborough Implements Stage 2 Outdoor Water Restriction

NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH — The Town of North Attleborough has moved to a Stage 2 outdoor water restriction, prohibiting all non-essential outdoor water use townwide, according to a town announcement.

TOWN HALL

Town officials say the Stage 2 restriction is now in effect and bars non-essential outdoor water use, a step up in the town's water conservation measures. The announcement did not specify an end date for the restriction.

Falls and Whitings Ponds remain closed to swimmers because of elevated bacteria levels, the Health Department said, with no reopening date set, an ongoing closure the town's News Flash service has continued to flag. The Board of Health takes up water and pond issues at a hybrid public meeting Tuesday.

COMING UP
