An emergency water ban was in effect for Pembroke due to low well levels, low water pressure and unsafe conditions as conditions in Massachusetts ranged from abnormally dry to severe drought. Residents were told to immediately stop using unnecessary water that would be needed in the event of an emergency. Tap water was discolored.
"There is a strain on the reserve levels in the tanks and it is seriously impacting the town’s ability to provide water and the pressure required to drive it now and in the event of an emergency," according to town officials.
