Lynn Water and Sewer Commission crews are preparing the city’s emergency connections to the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority as local reservoirs fall below half capacity amid an ongoing drought.

The city’s reservoirs were at 48.7% capacity as of Aug. 31, compared with the 67.9% normally recorded at that point in the year. The five-year average is 62.5%.

Looks like the Cambridge Reservoir in Waltham. There is no sense of Emergency or any outcry to save and reduce. I guess with summer over the state and government officials think it’s ok ??? I assume the rest of Metro Boston is in MWRA. The Quabbin Reservoir must be full
