Weymouth in Level 2 (Significant Drought) All nonessential outdoor water uses are banned.
Town News & Announcements
Posted on June 15, 2026
The Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) drought map status update
Significant Drought in the Southeast Region of Massachusetts.
During May, precipitation levels were again below average in Massachusetts and in especially in Weymouth. EEA Secretary Rebecca Tepper raised the drought status to Level -2 for the region due to the worsening dry conditions. Rivers and Streams are running below normal levels indicating lower groundwater levels. Using water wisely, both outdoors and indoors, can help reduce stress on our water systems. These small actions add up and will help protect our water supply and lower the risk of impacts, including increased fire danger, later this summer.



Given our drought status, we must continue to focus on water conservation.



Effective immediately, all Weymouth residents and businesses are required to follow the water conservation measures outlined by the EEA in response to the current drought status.



Level 2 (Significant Drought):

All nonessential outdoor water uses are banned.



Nonessential Outdoor Water Use means a use that is not required:

(a) for health or safety reasons, including public facilities used for cooling such as splash pads, swimming pools, and for washing of boats, engines, or marine equipment to prevent negative saltwater impacts or the transfer of invasive aquatic species;

(b) by permit, license, statute or regulation;

(c) for the production of food, including vegetable gardens, and fiber;

(d) for the maintenance of livestock;

(e) to meet the core functions (those functions essential to the commercial operations) of a business, including but not limited to:

1. Plant nurseries as necessary to maintain stock;

2. golf courses as necessary to maintain greens and tees, and limited fairway watering per 310 CMR 36.07(2)(c)2.a. through c.;

3. venues used for weddings or similar special events that limit watering to hand-held hose or drip irrigation as necessary to maintain gardens, flowers, and ornamental plants;

4. professional washing of exterior building surfaces, parking lots, driveways and/or sidewalks as necessary to apply surface treatments such as paint, preservatives, stucco, pavement, or cement in the course of construction, reconstruction or renovation work; (f) for irrigation of public parks before 9:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m.,

(g) for irrigation of public and private recreation fields, including those operated by schools, colleges, universities, and athletic associations, before 9:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m.

(h) for irrigation of publicly-funded shade trees and trees in the public right-of-way; or

(i) to establish a new lawn as necessary to stabilize soil in response to new construction or following the repair or replacement of a Title 5 system.



Please note that these mandatory water restrictions apply to the Town's water system usage and customers only. They do not apply to private wells.



Anyone who violates the mandatory water conservation measures is subject to a fine of $50 for each separate instance of noncompliance.

Showing Up Matters.
Not every community decision gets made in a big headline.
A lot of it happens in places like:
• Town meetings
• Planning boards
• School committees
• Local volunteer groups
• Neighborhood conversations

These rooms usually aren’t full — but the decisions made there shape our communities for years to come. Things like housing, development, schools, budgets, infrastructure, and preserving the character of our neighborhoods don’t just happen on their own. They happen because people care enough to show up, ask questions, share perspectives, and stay engaged.

You don’t have to be an expert. You don’t have to agree with everyone in the room. You just have to care about your community.

Across the South Shore, we’re fortunate to have a lot of people who do exactly that.
So, I’m curious:
What’s one way you’ve seen people “show up” for their community lately? A volunteer group, a local leader, a neighbor organizing something positive — let’s give them some recognition. Communities get stronger when people stay involved.

CONDO vs DETACHED HOME – THE GREAT DEBATE
One of the first big decisions when starting your home search is simple on the surface… but not always so simple in reality: Condo or detached home? Each comes with its own lifestyle—and that’s really what this decision is about.

Condo living:
Less upkeep, more convenience. No worrying about the roof, siding, snow removal, or mowing the lawn (your Saturdays just opened up).
But… there are trade-offs. HOA rules can limit things like landscaping, exterior changes, or even how you personalize your space.

Detached home:
More space, more privacy, more control. Want a garden? Go for it. Paint the front door bright red? No one’s stopping you.
But just remember—you’re also signing up for all the maintenance. Lawn care, repairs, snowstorms… it’s all yours.

There’s no “better” option—just what fits your life right now and where you’re headed.

For those who’ve been through it:
What factored into your decision? What do you wish you had thought about beforehand?
I’d love to know and I know that first time buyers will appreciate your input!

One of the things I love most about living in Weymouth is how close it is to everything.
A short ferry ride and you’re in Boston wandering through Faneuil Hall Marketplace or grabbing dinner in North End. In less than an hour you can be on Cape Cod — maybe on your way to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. Or go the other direction and in a couple of hours you’re up in the mountains near North Conway or exploring the rocky coastline of Maine.

With summer getting closer, I’m curious… What are some of your favorite day trip destinations? Where’s the place you can’t wait to get back to once the warm weather arrives?
Beaches, small towns, hiking spots, hidden gems — drop them in the comments.

We’re all always looking for new places to explore.

Communities Don’t Happen by Accident.
The neighborhoods we love in Weymouth and across the South Shore didn’t just appear overnight. They were shaped over time by people who cared enough to get involved. Local leaders who stepped forward. Residents who participated in town meetings. Neighbors who supported small businesses. Volunteers who gave their time to schools, youth sports, and community groups. And yes — people who were willing to have tough conversations about growth, housing, and the future of their towns.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about how these things connect:
• Leadership.
• Smart development.
• Civic engagement.
• Community action.

None of those things work on their own. But together, they’re what shape the places we call home. Weymouth has a long tradition of people caring deeply about their town — and that’s something worth protecting. So I’ll leave you with this:

What’s one thing that makes your community – your neighborhood – special? And what do we need to do to protect it for the next generation?
