Southington Lifts Water Restriction

SOUTHINGTON, CT — A voluntary restriction on water usage that the town of Southington had implemented in late June has been lifted.

In a statement posted on the town's web site, officials said, "The Southington Water Department, in its continued commitment to supplying quality water to the residents of Southington, is lifting the mandatory water restriction. We appreciate the concerted effort to conserve water during these past few months. For more information or concerns, please contact the Southington Water Department at 860-628-5593."

Under the restriction, customers were asked to limit the amount of outside water use and adhere to an odd-even watering schedule. Properties with an even street number were watered on even days of the month, and those with odd street numbers were watered on odd days.
