Hamilton, N.J. (July 1, 2026) – Due to drier than normal weather conditions in New Jersey, Aqua is encouraging customers in Woolwich Township, Gloucester County to conserve water and adhere to an irrigation schedule along with limiting non-essential outdoor water use. This announcement comes as a Statewide Drought Warning from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection remains in effect.
All customers in Woolwich Township are asked to comply with the following schedule for non-essential outdoor water use and irrigation:
- Building and Construction Efforts: Monday and Thursday
- Even-numbered addresses Commercial/Residential (0, 2, 4, 6, 8): Tuesday and Friday
- Odd-numbered addresses Commercial/Residential (1, 3, 5, 7, 9): Wednesday and Saturday
Some other helpful tips on reducing water use include:
- Don’t leave the water running when brushing your teeth or shaving.
- Take showers, not baths: Showers are more efficient and use less water. The shorter the shower, the better. A 10-minute shower uses half the amount of water as a full bathtub.
- Cut back on rinsing dishes. Scrape off the food and let the dishwasher do the rest. Only run the dishwasher when it is full.
To be clear, Aqua monitors and manages our water supplies actively every day, and we are confident in being able to supply our systems, but we are issuing the conservation notice as a precaution. While we cannot predict how long the dry weather will continue, our operations, environmental and compliance experts plan for this type of weather event with our customers in mind. Aqua’s drought team will continue to monitor the situation to ensure continued service and reliability. To this end, we ask our customers to use water wisely in this abnormal period that is affecting the Garden State. As always, if our customers have any specific concerns or questions, please reach out to us at 877.987.2782. We will keep you updated on any significant changes.
