The village of Cumberland has moved to stage 3 water restrictions.

The village of Cumberland has moved to stage 3 water restrictions.

Residents are banned from watering their lawns, as of yesterday. They’ll also have to wait until next year to fill swimming pools or wash their vehicles with water.

Demand was up 50 percent compared to previous years, according to manager of operations Rob Crisfield. It’s cause for concern, he said, but even in the worst case scenario, with no rain until November, the village still has enough water to last.

Cumberland restrictions skipped from stage 1 to 3.
