That Didn't Take Long

Atkins Reservoir is down 50%

On Monday night the Amherst Select Board voted to give the Town Manager authority to escalate the "voluntary" water restrictions to "mandatory".  And today he did just that, starting Friday August 19.

My drone will be working overtime on enforcement.

    What is the protocol to notify the public about this? I'm assuming the letter will go out to all residents but a robo-call seems prudent as well.

    I'm not sure there is a protocol as this is the first time the town has done this.

    And yes, a reverse 911 robo-call would be prudent.

    This is a drier year than 1980 -- any idea how much the colleges will need and is there enough?

    I received both a call (home phone and cell), and a text message about this, as well as an email. I signed up for Amherst's Emergency Notifications some time back.
