ATTLEBORO, Mass. (WPRI) — Mayor Cathleen DeSimone provided an update on Attleboro's water supply situation Friday, explaining what she is calling good news. According to the mayor, the Manchester Reservoir "has reached full capacity" at 146 feet above sea level because of recent rainfall and le ss water being used. "This good news follows the state's recent announcement that our regional drought status has been lowered from significant to mild," DeSimone added. Last year, the reservoir experienced a larger than anticipated water loss partially caused by human error during a process where water is drawn to blend with Orr's Pond when there are high manganese levels. After the error was made public in December, the city's water superintendent resigned. BACKGROUND: Human error contributed to Attleboro’s water supply issue DeSimone said the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection has canceled its water emergency declaration for the city, but a level one water restrictions will stay in place "because we remain in a mild drought status." The level one restrictions, which DeSimone said will continue until Sept. 30, means outdoor water use isn't allowed between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. every day. The restriction "could be increased" if drought conditions worsen in the spring or summer, DeSimone noted. The city will be able to buy 1 million gallons of water a day after an interconnection was made with Pawtucket. In January, DeSimone said the city also created an emergency temporary interconnection with Mansfield to buy water.
