SmartFlower Solar Installation

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.

This is Scott Rabideau cutting the ribbon for the new SmartFlower solar installation at his and his wife Beth’s property on Hill Road. With him for the ribbon cutting are Mark Conroy of SmartFlower North America and Commissioner Carol Grant, head of the Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources. This unit will produce over 2.3 kW of power, and will save Scott and Beth money on their energy bills through Pascoag Utility District’s net metering program. The unit is a unique design that opens up automatically in the morning, folds back down at night or during high winds, and tracks the sun throughout the day. Pretty cool stuff! Congratulations to Scott and Beth for this very unique renewable energy addition.
