WATER CONSERVATION: IT TAKES ALL OF US !

The Dedham-Westwood Water District has implemented mandatory outside watering restrictions effective Thursday, July 21, 2022. These restrictions are being put in place due to the drought condition the region is currently seeing combined with the reduced flow within the Neponset River.

Customers in Dedham may water lawns on Mondays and Thursdays and customers in Westwood on Tuesdays and Fridays. The hours of watering on permitted days are limited to between the hours 6:00 –9:00 a.m. and 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. These restrictions will be in place until further notice.

Hand-held hoses may be used at any time to water flowers or vegetables regardless of the community or day.
