Town of Hanover Water Restriction Emergency Update 6/18/26

Posted on: June 18, 2026 - 4:03pm
Water Restriction Update 3

We want to express our sincere gratitude to Hanover for the commitment, vigilance, and conservation efforts. We continue to make significant strides. Our water tank levels have risen to approximately 100 feet, compared to just 84 feet on Sunday. While this progress is encouraging, our goal is to surpass the 110-foot mark, and we are not there yet.

While the impending rainfall is certainly welcome and the weekend weather may help, it will not significantly improve our water supply conditions on its own. Our water tank levels remain critically low, and continued conservation is essential to ensuring adequate water for fire protection, public safety, and basic household needs.

Unfortunately, we continue to identify water restriction violations each night. Violation notices, along with associated fines, will be issued daily throughout the summer. Irrigation is an unnecessary use of our public water supply during this emergency. While in previous years the Town has not always enforced the regulations as firmly as we are now, we must take a more aggressive approach moving forward to secure Hanover’s water resources.

As we head into the weekend, we ask everyone to remain focused and continue limiting water use to essential needs only. Please continue reducing consumption by at least 10% from your typical usage, avoid topping off swimming pools, and postpone all non-essential outdoor water use. If we can maintain these conservation efforts through the weekend, we will be in a much more comfortable position.

Hanover has consistently demonstrated the strength of working together, and your efforts are producing real results. By continuing to support one another and maintain our shared commitment to conservation, we can help protect our water system and ensure reliable service for the entire community.

We appreciate you, and we recognize the tremendous efforts being made across the community. Thank you again for your cooperation, dedication, and continued commitment to helping our Town.
