• Water Conservation - Lawn irrigation is the single largest use of water during the summer, which tends to be the time of year when our water supplies are most stressed. To conserve water, Aquarion, our public water supplier, has adopted a mandatory irrigation schedule from April 1 through October. Private well owners are urged to follow the same schedule.
