Message from Aqua PA’s President
Aqua Pennsylvania Customers,
As a result of the continued dry weather, I wanted to make you aware we are asking customers to voluntarily conserve water.
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 recommending voluntary conservation 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 entire two states. As always, if our customers have any specific concerns or questions, please asl them to reach out to us at 877-987-2782. We will keep you updated of any significant changes.
Quick and easy tips for conservation:
· 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 ten-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, and only run the dishwasher when it is full.
· Limit your outdoor watering.

Thank you
Marc A. Lucca
