The New London-Springfield Water System Precinct currently bills twice a year. Our first billing goes out before the end of April and our second billing goes out the end of October.

Don’t be surprised to see our meter reader around your house at these times. Please keep water meter pads accessible year round and keep meter wires attached to building to prevent breakage resulting in misreads. Do try to keep your dogs leashed when left out unattended during meter reading times.

All New London-Springfield Water System Precinct billing questions should be made Monday through Thursday 8:00 am to 12:00 pm at 526-4441.

Please note that we are not affiliated with the New London Sewer Department. All Sewer bill inquiries should be made at 526-6337.
