In case you missed it, as of May 1, Wenham's water conservation bylaw is in effect and continues through Sept. 30.

That means no sprinklers are allowed between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and that includes those with private wells. Hand watering is allowed.

Violators of this order shall be subject to fines of up to $100 for each offense, per Chapter XXI of the Town of Wenham Bylaws.
