Water Main Cleaning To Disrupt Service In Simsbury

Aquarion Water Co.

SIMSBURY, CT — Local water customers starting Tuesday, April 1, might notice some changes in their service, which is part of the water company's plan to clean and upgrade local water mains.

The Aquarion Water Co. has announced a water main cleaning project in the Simsbury Regional System.

The project, scheduled to run from April 1 to May 31, will ensure customers continue to receive the "highest quality water," according to the company.

The cleaning schedule for the first week of the project, beginning on Tuesday, April 1, will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the following streets: Banbury Drive, Birdlepath Road, Chestnut Hill Road, Colby Court, Glen Hollow Lane, Huckleberry Lane, Lostbrook Road, Madison Lane, Nimrod Road, Rocklyn Drive, Rockspray Lane, Sachems Trail, Sherwood Lane, Watch Hill Lane, West Mountain Road, and Wintergreen Lane.

During the water main cleaning, customers may experience temporary low pressure, no water, and/or discolored water.

This discoloration results from the temporary disturbance of the water flow, which stirs up naturally occurring minerals that settle in water mains.

Aquarion recommends customers store water in their refrigerators for drinking and cooking.

If the water is discolored, customers should refrain from washing laundry.

Before resuming use, customers should run their cold-water faucets until the water appears clear.
