MTBE ADVISORY/UPDATE

PUD in conjunction with HWD is issuing a notice of outdoor water restrictions until further notice. Water levels are down, causing wells to pull air into the system, resulting in cloudy water. The restrictions consist of the following: irrigation of lawns via sprinklers or automatic irrigation systems, filling swimming pools, washing of vehicles, washing exterior buildings, parking lots, driveways and sidewalks. Watering vegetable gardens and maintenance of livestock is allowed. We ask that everyone please help to conserve water whenever possible.

This post will be taken down as soon as the water ban is lifted.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Recycling plastic water bottles and cardboard containers:

 

Please remember to recycle your water containers properly.

Separate cardboard from plastic

Step on and crush plastic bottles before putting them in your recycling bin

 

Bottles CANNOT be put back in cardboard containers for recycling. The recycling contractor WILL NOT pick up the containers.

 

Recently Pascoag Water Department received donations from several suppliers. On behalf of all Pascoag water customers, special thanks to:

 

Village IGA Marketplace

McDonalds (North Smithfield and Uxbridge)

 

Mr. Brigido, owner of the Village IGA Marketplace donated a truckload of bottled water. In addition to this delivery, Mr. Brigido has allowed Pascoag to use his equipment to unload other water deliveries.

 

A new resident to the village, Mr. Gerry Laskowski, operator of the North Smithfield and Uxbridge McDonalds arranged with Dannon, one of his suppliers, to deliver a truckload of bottled water to the District.

 

A special thank you to these two folks who have gone out of their way to be good neighbors to the community.
