Boil Water Advisory Now Lifted In Danbury, Mayor Says

Shared by Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves

We just got our test results in from samples collected at the Sand Pit Road water main break and they show that Danbury water is safe to drink.

The boil water advisory issued on 12/25/25 for the Sand Pit Road water main break has been lifted and alerts will be going out shortly.

Thank you all for your patience and cooperation. And my thanks again to all who donated and volunteered to support our clean water distribution, especially on Christmas.

12/25 Danbury Alert: A water main break occurred on Sand Pit Road in the late evening hours of 12/24 impacting a large portion of east Danbury. Out of an abundance of caution, the Danbury Public Utilities Department is advising impacted customers in the low-service area to use boiled tap water or bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes. If you believe you were impacted, please see the attached map to confirm if you are in the low-service area.

Drinking water is available for pick-up at 36 Germantown Road - Danbury Volunteer Fire Battalion 31.

Water samples will be collected after the repair is made. We anticipate receiving sample results confirming that the water can be used for drinking 24 hours after the sample is collected.

We will inform you as soon as the boil water advisory is lifted.

For more information, call Danbury Public Utilities at 203-797-4539 or the 24-hour emergency number at the West Lake Water Treatment Plant at 203-797-4615.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Thank you to Danbury Fire Department - CT, Danbury Volunteer Fire Battalion 19, INC., Danbury Volunteer Fire Battalion Thirty-One, Inc., and Danbury Emergency Management for coordination this morning.

We just brought pallets of drinking water to Battalion 31 on Germantown Road for those impacted by the water main break.

More to come on this repair... City of Danbury.
