PUTNAM — The Town of Putnam Water Pollution Control Authority along with its partner SUEZ is requesting the customers of the Town of Putnam WPCA assist with a conservation efforts that includes less frequent use of water from the Putnam system. 
Production of water at the Peake Brook Treatment Plant is contingent on the amount of water available in the Little River.  Even with the rainfall on Monday, the Putnam WPCA will not be able to use the Little River as a water source.
The extent of time that the Treatment Plant will be off line is contingent on rainfall and an increase of flow in the Little River.  During dry weather, it is necessary to stop production at the Treatment Plant.
The Town has sufficient production levels to supply its customers with daily water demand, but rain fall is needed.   Water is also produced from the Town’s Well Site and the Interconnect with Connecticut Water.
It is always prudent to voluntarily conserve by using less water for showers, dish and cloths washing, and any nonessential use like watering of lawns, gardens and washing cars.  Not only will it assist in conserving water from the system, it will reduce the customer’s water usage with cash savings on their quarterly WPCA bill.
