Portion Of South Windsor Street To Close For Water Main Work

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — A portion of Deming Street will be closed to traffic during weekday hours beginning Thursday, due to replacement of water main by the Connecticut Water Co. (CWC).

The street will be closed to thru traffic between Buckland Road and Slater Street Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Local travel by residents and school buses will be allowed, and driveway access will be maintained, according to the CWC.

Traffic will be directed to Oakland Road to bypass the construction area. The detour route is expected to be in place through Sept. 15 so that 2,400 feet of water main, or nearly one-half mile, can be installed. The entire project is expected to be completed by the end of October, according to the CWC.

"The new pipe will improve water system reliability and increase the flow of water available to fire hydrants," CWC vice president of service delivery Craig J. Patla said.

Customers in the work area have also been notified about the project., the CWC said.

Additional information will be available on Connecticut Water’s website at www.ctwater.com/projects.
