What is Xeriscape
Gardening?
Xeriscape landscaping is a low water-use, low maintenance,
naturalistic garden design utilizing seven basic
principles of sound home gardening to produce a
drought tolerant garden environment.
The seven basic principals
are:
-
Planning/Design
- Soil Improvement
- Plant Selection
- Efficient Irrigation
- Reduced Grass Area
- Mulching
- Maintenance

My
faucet only drips a little, why
should I replace it?

Flushing Schedule
NOTICE TO GROTON UTILITIES CUSTOMERS
As part of Groton Utilities continuing effort to provide
the highest quality water to our customers and to ensure
fire protection capabilities, we conduct an annual hydrant-flushing
program. Most hydrant flushing will be conducted during
daylight hours, with limited flushing occurring over evenings
and weekends.
Semiannual Water Main Flushing Schedule
Groton Utilities began its semiannual water main flushing
and cleaning program Monday, June 4th.
The program is scheduled to be completed by the end of June,
weather permitting
Due to the size of the water main, all Groton Utilities
customers should expect intermittent intervals of water
discoloration during the October water main flushing process.

the current hydrant flushing schedule.
During this time, our customers may experience a change
in water pressure or some water discoloration. To avoid
discoloration of clothes, please check water prior to doing
laundry. Run water for 5-10 minutes and the water should
clear. If water discoloration persists, please contact Groton
Utilities Customer Care Department at 446-4000. |
