Voluntown Town Hall

Originally posted 11/5/24, draught level updated 11/12/24

The Town of Voluntown is currently experiencing a Stage 2 Drought Advisory, resulting in many residents experiencing low or dry wells.

Most of Voluntown’s residents have their water supplied by private wells. It is the responsibility of homeowners to test their water and maintain their water system. Sometimes abnormally dry and drought conditions affect these wells. Low water in wells can result in illnesses and water pump failure. For more information on private wells and private wells during abnormally dry and drought conditions, visit our private well resources and FAQ page. 

Water sources: Non drinkable water for flushing and washing is available at the Public Works Garage at the end of Gate Street. There is a hose on the side of the building with a sign “Non Potable Water”. Drinkable (potable) water is available at the Pachaug State Forest Mt. Misery camping area (the water pump next to the outhouses).

The State of Connecticut has implemented a state-of-the-art emergency notification system, CT Alert,  to alert residents anywhere in the state about life-threatening emergency conditions.  Residents of Voluntown are encouraged to sign up for this alert system as it has been used two times already this year.

You will can get emergency alerts sent to you on any communication device that you use, such as your cell phone, email, text message, or certain hearing impaired devices, just by providing your information.

If you are already signed up for CT Alert, you can verify your information and make sure it is correct.

To sign up or check your CT Alert information: Connecticut Emergency Alerting and Notification Systems

The Town uses TextMyGov to get information to residents via text. We are not always able to get the information out through this system in a timely manner when life threatening conditions arise, so residents are strongly encouraged to sign up for CT Alert.
