The Town of Halifax Water Dept. sent out a release specifying a strict water ban effective June 21, “in order to reduce the amount of water purchased from Brockton.
Sunday: NO WATERING
Monday: Even numbered Houses 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Tuesday: Odd – numbered Houses 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Friday: Odd-numbered Houses 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Saturday: NO WATERING
Car washing and the use of sprinklers are allowed during specified hours only. Due to high demand, watering on the weekends is not allowed.
The Board of Water Commissioners appreciates everyone’s cooperation in conserving water to avoid a total water ban.
If these restrictions are not adhered to, the following fines will be enforced:
First Offense – Verbal Warning
Second Offense – $50 fine
Third Offense – $100 fine
Fourth Offense – TERMINATION OF WATER SERVICE. $250 TURN-ON FEE.
The increased demand we have experienced can threaten public safety and the quality of public drinking water. In extreme cases, high water use can threaten the ability of Municipalities to store water for water pressure and fire protection purposes.
Watering during the heat of the day does not help your lawn and wastes water.
If you have a well, please visit the Board of Health, 499 Plymouth Street to obtain a well or irrigation well number. This number must be posted on the front lawn to prevent the Water or Police Departments from stopping at your house to enforce this policy. For questions, you should contact the Water Department by visiting their office at 500 Plymouth Street or calling (781) 293-1733. The Board of Water Commissioners appreciates your cooperation.
