Water Main Break between Bramble Bush & Juniper Hill

The Water Department is responding to a water main break this afternoon on Stoneywood Drive between Bramble Bush & Juniper Hill.  Water customers can expect to be without water while repairs are being made.

When service is restored customers may experience discolored water.  The discolored water is not a health threat.  However, the discolored water can stain clothing, so it is best to wait for the water to clear before doing any laundry.  Also, it is advisable not to use any hot water as you may draw the discolored water into your hot water tank, which may have to be flushed later.  If you are doing laundry when the water became discolored, rewash the laundry later when the water is clear.  Use a rust stain remover or regular detergent.  Do not use chlorine bleach.  Chlorine can react with iron and can form a permanent stain.   Thank you for your understanding as we work through this issue.

You may contact the Water Department at 860 691-4104 from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM or Emergency Dispatch at 860-739-3419 after 4:00 PM for information.
