Water conservation urged as drought risk grows in Massachusetts
Massachusetts Environmental Affairs Secretary Evelyn Murphy told a national policy hearing that federal water policy must emphasize conservation and funding for water and energy saving devices. She warned of rising water prices, possible fivefold increases, and urged state and federal actions to curb demand while studying ground water and stream needs. Massachusetts House Leader McLean proposed sewage districts in New England to protect drinking water supplies with a state intervention timetable if towns fail to comply.
