Aquarion Reminds Newtown Customers To Limit Sprinkler Use

NEWTOWN, CT — Aquarion Water Company has issued a reminder to Newtown residents that the 2023 sprinkler mandatory irrigation schedule is in effect and continues until October 31.

The schedule helps to conserve water supplies by reducing overwatering of lawns and gardens through a maximum two days per week schedule, according to Aquarion officials. The conservation program helps to ensure local water supplies remain sufficient for critical needs such as human consumption and fire protection.

Under the irrigation schedule, Aquarion expects to save millions of gallons of water.

Customers with the last digit of their address being an even number — or those with no number in their address — may run their irrigation systems Sunday and Wednesday, from 12:01 a.m. to- 10:00 a.m., or 6:00 p.m. to midnight. Customers with odd numbered addresses may run their systems Saturday and Tuesday during the same time periods.

Customers may continue to water by hand or use drip irrigation or soaker hoses at any time.
