Danbury Issues Boil-Water Advisory After Water Main Break Near Forty Acre Mountain

DANBURY, CT — A water main break that reduced system pressure in the Forty Acre Mountain area prompted Danbury officials on Tuesday to issue a boil-water advisory for customers of the Hawthorne Terrace Water System.

The Danbury Water Department said residents should boil tap water or use bottled water for drinking and cooking as a precaution while crews address the problem. The city plans to collect water samples on Wednesday, with results expected by Thursday confirming whether the supply is safe to drink.

Officials said they will notify customers as soon as the advisory is lifted.
