Rhode Island State Employee’s Credit Union Water Give-Away

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?

• Even-numbered addresses may water outdoors on even-numbered days of the month.
• Odd-numbered addresses may water outdoors on odd-numbered days of the month.

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.
