Pursuant to his authority, the Mayor is hereby ending all Mandatory Water Use Restrictions starting 5/27/25.
Why was there a water restriction?
The Drought Management Task Force declared a level 3 drought for the Connecticut River Valley Region on November 7th 2024. The Task Force reduced the drought declaration to a level 1 on April 8th 2025. The Task Force lifted the drought declaration on 5/20/25, removing the requirement for any further water use restrictions. The restrictions are required per the Water Resource Management Program 310 CMR 36.00 governed by MassDEP and Chapter 257-7 Water Use Restrictions of the Town's General Ordinances.
The Town of West Springfield DPW Water Division extends a thank you to everyone that followed the water use restrictions during the drought.”
