Massachusetts Drought Update

On May 10, 2021, Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Kathleen Theoharides announced that, due to several significant rain events occurring throughout most of Massachusetts during late April and early May, conditions have improved in much of the Commonwealth. Therefore, the Massachusetts Northeast and Southeast Drought Regions were moved to Level 0-Normal Conditions. DWSD will also return to normal conditions and will resume our conservation effort as normal beginning Memorial Day to Labor Day.  We will continue to monitor this situation closely and inform you of any changes.  Thank you for your effort to conserve!  Click here to view the Massachusetts Drought Map.
