Thank you for your patience throughout the ongoing outdoor water ban. As many of you know, drought conditions have affected our region for much of the last year. According to the latest Rhode Island drought maps, 99% of the state is still classified as “abnormally dry.”
However, after closely monitoring our water production and remediating several wells, CREW is implementing a change in restrictions to allow some outdoor water use. Effective immediately, we will be moving from a full outdoor water ban to an even/odd day watering schedule.
What does this mean?
This change is a balance between conserving water and providing some relief to our customers. We will continue to monitor the drought conditions, and if rainfall improves, we will reevaluate and aim to lift the outdoor water ban completely.
We appreciate your understanding and continued efforts in conserving water during these challenging times.
Rhode Island Superior Court has now fully approved the settlement between Exxon-Mobil, Pascoag Utility, and the Class Action participants. There is a 20 day appeal period. If there are no appeals, Exxon Mobil will issue a check for the full amount to the lead attorney in the case, who will then disburse the funds per the settlement.
Assuming no appeal(s), participants should see their individual settlement checks sometime in early September.
