How Low Will It Go?
Needham has reached Critical Drought Status, along with the majority of Massachusetts. We explain what this means and how you can alleviate the strain on the water supply.

Although Needham has not experienced the same level of water bans that the surrounding community has, it doesn’t mean we have been spared the impact of this year’s severe drought. There are still some things that you can do to help get us back on track while we wait for the rain to return.
