Norwich — Norwich Public Utilities is not yet asking customers to curtail water usage, but the utility is monitoring its two drinking water reservoirs “very closely” with very dry conditions continuing across Connecticut and the region this summer.

“While we have not experienced a lot of rain this spring and summer, our reservoirs are still in good shape,” NPU General Manager Chris LaRose said in a news release issued Wednesday. “But if these drought conditions continue, there are operational steps we can take, and we may ask our customers to cut back on their water use as we manage this issue. But to be clear, we are not at that point right now.”

As of July 25, NPU’s Deep River Reservoir in Lebanon was at 84.93% capacity, with more than 1.4 billion gallons of water available for use. The Stony Brook Reservoir in Montville was at 92.62% capacity, with more than 497 million gallons of available water for use, NPU officials said.

Combined, NPU’s two reservoirs are at 86.94% capacity, with just under 297 days of water supply on hand. NPU reports its water levels to the state Department of Public Health each week.

NPU’s Water Supply Plan, approved by DPH, sets thresholds for measures if drought conditions persist. A water supply advisory is triggered when capacity is below 80%, and a water supply watch is triggered at 70% capacity.

If levels continue to drop, a water supply warning is issued at 60% capacity, and a water supply emergency at 50% capacity.

As a precaution, NPU has suspended its hydrant flushing program for the summer and will reevaluate restarting this work in the fall, should conditions improve.

NPU will provide regular updates in the weeks ahead and reach out to the public via media, social media and the NPU website, norwichpublicutilities.com, if any steps are encouraged or required by its customers.
