During the summer months, the Natick water system experiences excessively high water use typically due to outside water use for lawn and garden watering.
The Natick Board of Selectmen acting as the Natick Water Commissioners voted the implementation of a mandatory water use restriction.
Mandatory water use restrictions will limit daily demand on the Natick water system to ensure adequate water is available to meet the public health and safety needs of the Town. This measure will assist in maintaining water levels in the storage tanks for fire protection and normal consumption use. Implementing the important water conservation measures could help avoid further use restrictions.
Watering Schedule (only allowed before 9:00 AM and after 5:00 PM)
- Residents and Businesses occupying a building with an odd number address are asked to water lawns and gardens on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
- Residents and Businesses occupying a building with a even number address are asked to water lawns and gardens on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday

- No outside water use between the hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
- Avoid washing of sidewalks, patios and driveways (excluding businesses for safety / health reasons).
