Connecticut Water will expand solar electric generation capabilities with an through a partnership with Earthlight Technologies, a family-owned company based in Ellington specializing in solar energy solutions, to reduce energy costs, protect the environment and bolster the state economy. 

Connecticut Water employee volunteers spent Earth Day cleaning up litter from around reservoirs in Killingworth. The effort protects the source water, before it enters a treatment plant and goes out to customers, and also protects the environment. Staff saw lots of wildlife, including a pair of bald eagles, while walking through the watershed. #EarthDay2024

Connecticut Water continued our bird box project with the installation of an additional wood duck box in Westbrook, adding to the dozens of bird boxes on company property throughout the state. Employees donned waders on a chilly, breezy morning to install the new wood duck box. Wood ducks will readily use nest boxes in suitable habitat, ideally near a source of water.  The bird box project is a partnership between Connecticut Water, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) and Connecticut Water employee volunteers. Connecticut Water employees used lumber donated by DEEP and scrap signposts donated by the Department of Transportation to construct 40 wood duck and bluebird nesting boxes. Volunteers install the boxes in company watersheds and other land that provide good habitat for these beneficial birds. Company volunteers also maintain and clean the bird boxes. 

The show must go on. The Connecticut Water team stopped by the The Ivoryton Playhouse recently to deliver a $2,500 donation through the CT Neighborhood Assistance Act. The Playhouse plans to use the donation for preservation and improvement projects at the 113-year-old playhouse. Jacqueline Hubbard, Executive Director, accepted the donation from Connecticut Water's Lindsay Bollenbach. Check out the Playhouse's 2024 season - https://lnkd.in/eVukQbqv

We're honored to be named to the 2024 Top Workplaces list by USA Today! This recognition is a reflection of our passionate, dedicated team who provide reliable, high-quality drinking water and world-class customer service to our customers every day.

In Connecticut, it's easy to take water for granted. We take pride in providing high-quality, life sustaining water to our customers each and every day. But across the globe in 2022, 2.2 billion people lacked safely managed drinking water, including 703 million without basic water service; 3.5 billion people lacked safely managed sanitation, including 1.5 billion without basic sanitation services; and 2 billion lacked a basic handwashing facility, according to the United Nations.   World Water Day, an annual United Nations Observance, celebrates water and inspires action to tackle the global water crisis. To mark the day, Connecticut Water staff assembled portable water filters that will be used to get clean water in hard-to-reach areas, like refugee camps and natural disasters. #worldwaterday   Learn more about how you can help - https://lnkd.in/dmPq_Uq
