Electric

Lots of electric homes

About 34% of Groton homes heat with electricity and 46% with oil. Only about 10% use gas. Electric water heaters usually fail at a heating element, a thermostat or the high-limit reset button, and those are routine repairs. If yours gives some hot water that runs out fast, the lower element is the usual suspect.

Water

Five reservoirs and a 15.6-square-mile watershed

Groton Utilities' 2025 report says its supply is five interconnected reservoirs plus three wells. Morgan, Ledyard, Poheganut and Smith Lake reservoirs flow into Poquonnock, the terminal reservoir, and together they hold about 2.5 billion gallons when full. The utility says the watershed covers 15.6 square miles and it owns about 28% of it.

Renters

Nearly half of households rent

About 47% of Groton households rent. Renters should call the landlord or property manager first. If water is spreading, shut the cold supply valve above the heater and switch off its breaker or gas while you wait.
