Flushing improves water quality by reducing the buildup of sediments.
Residents Can Help Ensure Sustainable Water Supply
The outdoor watering ban will continue through 2022 and until the new Whitcomb Ave water treatment plant is completed.
This is expected to be completed in January 2023.
Under the ban, non-essential outdoor water uses that are prohibited include:
The following uses are allowed:
Any person violating this regulation shall be liable to the Town of Littleton Water Department as follows:
Each day of violation shall constitute a separate offense.
There has been two factors pressuring LELWD’s overall well capacity. The state has experienced a drought, as a result, the state has raised the drought level to 2. LELWD is still prohibiting all non-essential outdoor water use within the 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. timeframe that Littleton Water customers are already familiar with from previous years’ watering restrictions.
This recent drought is coupled with the reduced well capacity due to the presence of a contaminant known as PFAS in water from the Spectacle Pond well site. Tests have shown that the Spectacle Pond wells have PFAS at an average of 25 parts per trillion. A temporary water main has been constructed that allows LELWD to blend water from the Spectacle Pond and Beaver Brook wells to reduce PFAS levels.
The purpose of blending the two sources is to lower the levels of PFAS below the new state PFAS standard of 20 ppt., but only enables recovery of half of the Spectacle Pond well capacity. That means there will be less water available during the drier and higher-use summer months.
For more information on LELWD’s plan to remove PFAS from the water supply, click here.
While private well owners are not required to comply with the water ban, we ask that they do their part to conserve water, as it all comes from the same aquifer.
Residents and consumers are encouraged to call LWD with any questions at 978-540-2222.
Start by receiving a free home energy assessment to identify areas of improvement and create a baseline.
A professional energy adviser will evaluate your energy saving potential in specific areas of your home. Energy Advisers compile the data collected to produce a detailed evaluation and summary report of energy usage based on the assessment of the home. Findings are reviewed for potential energy efficiency improvements, and achievable energy savings are explained in your report. The assessment will evaluate a broad range of energy saving opportunities in the home, including appliances, windows and doors, insulation, heating/cooling, and lighting. The entire audit usually takes about 1-1/2 hours to complete.
Contact Energy New England for your free assessment to get started (888) 772-4242
After your assessment, implement a sustainable action based on your energy assessment.
All sustainable actions must be recommended through an energy assessment. Qualifying sustainable actions may include weatherization, insulation, air sealing, or converting fossil fueled systems to electric systems.
Apply for rebates to cover 50% of the project cost on eligible projects!
Sustainable action rebates are 50% off the cost of the project or materials, yet not to exceed $500 per year. All incentives will be processed in the form of a bill credit towards your account.
Recieve a $1,000 incentive for removing fossil fuel systems and converting to all electric!
If you remove your gas, oil, or propane equipment and replace it with electric equipment, you can qualify for a $1,000 rebate.
Converting your home to all electric must have been in 2022 or within one year thereafter to qualify.
Electrifying your home lowers your carbon footprint as the grid becomes more renewable over time.
Customers who have gone through an energy assessment and heat or cool their home with electricity are eligible.
This program offers incentives for LELWD's residential customers who heat or cool their home with electricity. Customers who have gone through an energy assessment are eligible. Energy assessments are valid for three years and qualifying projects must have been in 2022 or within one year thereafter. To schedule your assessment, please call 888-772-4242.
Don't heat or cool your home with electricity? The energy assessment will provide insights on ways to switch and if it makes sense for you.
Once you have received an energy assessment and implemented a sustainable action, please submit the form below.

A state grant will pay more than $4 million toward building the new Whitcomb Avenue water treatment plant. The new facility will protect water quality and public health by ensuring treatment of the town’s public water supply prior to delivery to consumers.
The Denise M. Pagacik scholarship is an annual, merit based scholarship that focuses on rewarding ambitious individuals interested in the fields of engineering or environmental sciences.
This scholarship was created in memory of Denise M. Pagacik of Littleton, Massachusetts. Denise was a loving mother and wife who lived in Littleton for over 25 years. She was a selfless member of the community who was always there for others at any given moment.
The Denise M. Pagacik scholarship is funded by the Littleton Electric Light and Water Departments (LELWD). In establishing this scholarship, LELWD wishes to recognize the positive impact that Denise had on our community by assisting students to achieve their career goals; an objective which has the added benefit of bettering the community at large.
Applicants of the Denise M. Pagacik Scholarship must:
* It is strongly encouraged that the student successfully participated in the Littleton Electric Light and Water Department’s Dual Enrollment Program
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a one-time award of up to a $2,000 scholarship.
For LELWD to issue the payment, the recipient must contact the college you are attending and get a proof of enrollment. The proof of enrollment can be sent directly to LELWD. LELWD will then forward the scholarship award to the college.
To apply, complete the application below and submit a one page essay explaining the importance of community selflessness and how you would like to define your career.
The deadline to apply is May 8th, 2022.
The Littleton Electric Light and Water Department will evaluate all applicants. Applicants will be evaluated and selected using the following criteria:
In 2015, the department separated the debt service fee from the water rates. This shows customers how much they pay to operate the water system versus how much they contribute to capital improvements.
The debt service fee is collected to pay off loans that financed the construction of water infrastructure projects.
The current cost of the fee is $0.00326
The Debt Service fee is calculated by taking your current bills usage and multiplying the usage by 0.00326. This will give you your amount due.
The average water usage is 13,554 gallons per quarter or 150.6 gallons a day.
This would make your average debt service fee $44.19.
Homeowners and businesses can lower their water bills by reducing
the amount used. We urge our customers to conserve water not only as a precious natural resource, but also to reduce their bills.
Check for leaks in your plumbing and irrigation systems. A leaky toilet can double total usage over three months. Lawn irrigation systems can be the source of leaks that go unnoticed because they are outside the home. Use a smart irrigation controller and do not overwater.
