Water Company Issues Mandatory Water Ban for Parts of CT

A water company has issued a mandatory water ban for Mystic, Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan, Darien and Stonington customers.

Aquarion Water Company said they are working in cooperation with town officials in implementing the mandatory ban on outdoor watering devices, including irrigation systems, sprinklers and soaker hoses, the company said. 

“We are telling our customers to turn off their irrigation systems and sprinklers for the season,” said Charles V. Firlotte, Aquarion President and CEO. “We are doing this to ensure that we have an adequate water supply for everyday use and fire protection.”

The ban is effective immediately. 

Most of Connecticut is experiencing a drought. 

NBC Connecticut commissioned aerial video to see how the banks of the Connecticut River look during the state's drought. The state's rain deficit has been hurting local farmers and threatening their crops, including Christmas tree and pumpkin farms.
