GROVELAND — The Groveland Water and Sewer Department will shut down Well #1 beginning Monday, July 21, for repairs and is encouraging residents to conserve water during the outage.
While no water restrictions have been announced, in a statement, Superintendent Colin Stokes said the department is trying to avoid placing excessive strain on the town’s remaining two wells.
“With one well out of service, the department must refrain from pumping the other two wells 24 hours a day to avoid straining equipment and limiting the ability to pump from the wells,” Stokes said in a statement issued on Friday, July 18, 2025.
A mandatory outdoor water ban could be issued if well conditions deteriorate, but officials say that outcome can be avoided if residents reduce water usage for about a week stating Monday.
“While this repair is necessary and unavoidable, we can work together to avoid having to issue a water ban,” said Stokes. “Please do your best to be mindful of your water use and conserve water wherever you can. We thank you for your cooperation.”
