Aquarion Water Company, the private regional utility that serves Bridgeport, sets mandatory outdoor watering schedules and seasonal irrigation restrictions enforceable on residential and commercial customers throughout the Greater Bridgeport service area.
Aquarion's standard residential rule limits lawn irrigation to two days per week, typically based on odd or even house numbers, with watering generally prohibited between mid-morning and early evening to reduce evaporation. During declared drought stages the company may impose stricter or total bans. The Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) approves Aquarion's drought response plan under CT §16-262n, and customers ignoring restrictions risk surcharge fees, service warnings, or termination of irrigation accounts.
Aquarion may issue warning letters, surcharges, or temporary irrigation shut-offs for repeat violations; PURA-approved drought rules carry escalating per-incident fees in severe stages.
