Be conservative with your water, this drought is affecting a lot of people. Make sure you take care of any dripping faucets and leaks. A small drip over time can waste many gallons of water.
Town of Voluntown, CT- Government
October 8 at 3:34 PM ·
The Drought Level for our area has moved up to Level 3 (out of 5).
Reports of low water levels in private wells, streams, agricultural water supplies, and fire suppression ponds have been increasing especially in eastern Connecticut. Due to the unusually dry soils, the rain that does fall does not soak into the ground and the threat of fire returns soon after the rain ends. Residents are reminded to monitor daily forest fire danger reports and plan outdoor burning accordingly, especially in areas dependent on fire ponds that might not be usable.
To avoid further stressing water supplies and to avoid other threats due to the current drought, residents and businesses are being asked to voluntarily take the following measures:
• End irrigation of established lawns and limit other outdoor water uses;
• Residents and businesses dependent upon private wells should limit water use to only essential needs to reduce the chance of well depletion (see guidance for private well users, links are below);
• Prepare for using alternative water sources in the event wells, farm ponds, fire suppression supplies, or other critical water sources become depleted; and
• Avoid burning in or near woodlands or brushlands, and obey any municipal or state orders for outdoor burning bans
There is a water pump behind Town Hall (next to the sand bin) that can be used for NON DRINKING water. This water is not safe to drink, but it can be used for toilet flushing, plant watering, etc.
We are waiting to receive a few pallets of drinking water. When it arrives, we will post.
Please contact the Selectmen's Office if you have any questions.
