Water bans
FOX25 news has a daily pool question and today's asks if there is a connection between town water bans and rainfall amounts.
Yes and no!
Yes, if we have not had sufficient rainfall, the local water supplies can get really low, particularly if the town relies on well water or their own water supply (aquifer).
No, because there are towns that don't have water bans, but they use water from surrounding towns that do. Duxbury does this to Marshfield whenever there is a "drought". Marshfield will have a water ban in effect, and Duxbury won't, and they access the same aquifer.
Imagine being told by your town that you can only water on specific days and times (if at all) and yet the next town over can water whenever and whatever they want? Seems to me that whatever effects the aquifer should effect each and every town that uses it equally....PERIOD! No shady deals, no different rules for different communities (based on $$) and no exceptions!
