Danvers entered level 5 drought conditions, due to low flow in the Ipswich River and the rapid depletion of the city’s reservoir. Under level 5 drought conditions, outdoor watering may be done with handheld hoses and water cans between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m. Sprinkler systems may not be used. Water restrictions were being enforced by the police and public works crews.
Danvers was in level 5 drought condition earlier in the summer when the lack of rain allowed the reservoir to become depleted.
