All outdoor water use was banned in Mansfield, effective Oct. 1 until further notice after the selectmen approved Phase 4 restrictions on Sept. 28. State officials have also recommended a prohibition on outdoor watering as much of Southeastern Massachusetts remained in a drought warning area.
Neighboring Foxboro adopted similar restrictions on Sept. 23.
