Town of Weymouth - Water Conservation Notice Record low rainfall has led to significant drought conditions in Weymouth and 90 percent of Massachusetts. Water levels at Great Pond, the town's main water source, have dropped nearly four (4) feet since the end of April. That is the biggest drop during that period in the last 20 years. Overall year-to-date precipitation is the lowest it's been in the past 20 years, with less than 20 inches of total precipitation in 2022.
The Town is requesting that Weymouth residents and businesses begin to take water conservation measures immediately. It is the Town’s hope that with cooperation of these voluntary measures we will avoid more stringent measures.
