💧 WATER CONSERVATION REQUEST – NEW LONDON

The City of New London is asking all citizens to please conserve water until further notice.

We have experienced an electrical failure with one of our well pumps and are currently working to get a replacement pump installed. Until the repair is complete, we need everyone’s help by limiting water usage as much as possible.

Please avoid unnecessary water use for non-essential activities.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation while we work to get the well back up and running. We will post an update once the repair is complete and residents can return to normal water usage.

Thank you, New London, for helping us conserve water during this time! 💧
