Water System Maintenance Might Cause Discoloration Next Week

Aquarion Water Company will be cleaning water mains in the Chimney Heights system in Bethel from Monday, Oct. 21 through Friday, Oct. 25, and customers in the area might see some discoloration in their water.

The discoloration is a result of the temporary disturbance of the water flow, which stirs up naturally occurring minerals that settle in water mains, according to Aquarion.

“Customers may want to store tap water in the refrigerator ahead of time for drinking and cooking,” the company said in a statement issued Thursday. “If water is discolored, customers should delay washing clothes until it is clear.”

Work will be scheduled between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

For questions, residents can contact the Customer Service Department at 1-800-732-9678.
