MANSFIELD, MA — The drought of 2016 continues to take its toll on Mansfield.
Wednesday, the selectmen voted to upgrade the town's water ban to level four, effective Oct. 1. Under the ban, no outside water use will be allowed, including lawn watering, flower gardens, car washing, and filling swimming pools.
The ban will remain in effect until the drought warning is downgraded to a drought watch.
