The drought status for the state’s northeast region, of which Natick is part, has improved according to the Commonwealth’s Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. The drought status level has fallen from 3 (critical) to 2 (significant).
Whereas Level 3 bans all nonessential outdoor water uses, Level 2 allows watering of ornamentals and flower gardens with drip irrigation, hand-held hose or watering cans. More details on what’s essential vs. nonessential.
