Water Ban: The town-wide water ban continues. Despite some recent rain, the State has issued a Drought Warning, one stage shy of an emergency. Please continue to conserve water and honor the outdoor watering ban. No washing of cars, driveways and sidewalks. Please only hand watering of plants & yards between the hours of 5PM and 8AM.
Per order of the Fire Chief: Effective Immediately, all open burning is prohibited. No campfires, open flame cooking fires and recreational fires. This includes open fires on the town beaches. This is due to the unusually dry weather conditions and dry fuel conditions. The use of charcoal cooking fires and gas cooking fires are allowed. Thank you for your cooperation on this issue.
