Drought

Over the months of July and August, drought conditions have worsened to “severe” along New Hampshire’s southeast border with Massachusetts.  The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services maintains a Drought Management webpage.  The Drought Management webpage provides updates and resources for NH Residents.  At this time, the Town of Mason has not imposed outdoor water use restrictions. The Board of Selectmen are asking residents in town to voluntarily restrict outdoor water use for lawns.  Pursuant to RSA 41:11-d, municipalities have the authority to restrict lawn watering within jurisdictional boundaries.
