No.19 – sheet 13 and in response to the Mass Department of Environmental Protection’s request to develop a more aggressive “Water Conservation Policy” to help meet future demands created a Water Conservation Policy, the Water Department has approved policy with the following reference to lawn irrigation systems in effect and has been since January 1, 2005.
Sheet 13, Section 17 – WATER CONSERVATION POLICY

WATER CONSERVATION LEVEL
Effective July 14, 2025, Milford Water Department will be on a STAGE III Mandatory Water CONSERVATION Level.
What does this mean to you as a customer?
OUTSIDE WATER USAGE IS LIMITED TO HANDHELD HOSE ONLY BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 7PM AND 7AM FOR NO MORE THAN 1HR. This means that you may not use any irrigation systems, sprinklers or unattended hoses at any time. It restricts usage to only a handheld hose after 7pm and before 7am for no more than 1hr.
MWD DOES MONITOR FOR VIOLATORS OF THE CONSERVATION STAGES.
The Milford Water Department at this time would like to thank all its customers for their cooperation in this matter and hope that by CONSERVING now we will not need to increase our water restriction going forward.
