At the emergency meeting this past Friday, the Water Commissioners and attendees discussed a reverse 911 to inform Lincoln residents about the drought situation. It was decided that this mode of communication should be reserved for emergencies requiring immediate action (water main breaks etc.).
*Obviously*, the sooner a drought situation is addressed, the better. Sandwich boards have been placed at locations around town with drought information. An insert relating to the drought situation is going out with the next water bill. The water bills are being mailed tomorrow. The use of lawn sprinklers at Oriole Landing was brought up by an attendee and will be addressed. Specific methods for informing the tenants have not been discussed. Of note, the Water Commission is not a direct report to Town Hall. However, it does have a Select Board member as a liaison who participates in Water Commission meetings.
