The Town of Salem has put mandatory water use restrictions in place, effective June 25, 2020.  This
applies to all who use water from the Town’s water system.  It restricts lawn watering by manual or
automatic sprinklers.  Until further notice, watering is only permitted on odd-numbered days from the hours of 12 AM (midnight) to 10AM.  There are penalties for violations. For details see: https://www.townofsalemnh.org/sites/salemnh/files/uploads/salem_nh_water_restrictions_-_june_25_2020.pdf

In the summer Salem draws water from Canobie Lake. Heavy lawn watering causes the lake level to
drop rapidly. To be a good neighbor, the CLPA encourages those who draw water directly from Canobie Lake to follow the same restrictions as Salem.
