Nantucket Moved to Level 2 Drought Condition

The Massachusetts Drought Task Force has declared Nantucket and all of Cape Cod to be in a Level 2 Drought Condition.

Effective immediately and continuing through September 30, 2025, the following restrictions are in place under the Town's water withdrawal permit:

  • No automatic irrigation of any kind, including drip irrigation.
  • No irrigation except with a handheld hose or watering can.
  • Limit all outside water use, including washing decks, sidewalks, driveways, and streets.

The drought status will be reassessed at the end of September. Residents and businesses are urged to conserve water and follow these restrictions to help protect the island's limited water supply.
