HYANNIS – The Cape and Islands are among multiple regions across Massachusetts that are still under a long-term drought.
The Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs reported that the Cape’s status has been downgraded to a “significant drought,” joining the Islands area at Level 2.
Under a Level 2 drought, the state recommends that businesses and residents minimize their overall water use while following restrictions put forth by local officials.
Hard-surface washing should also be limited, while communities should create goals in order to restrict water usage.
