Meriden Warns Of Possible Low Water Pressure

Meriden water customers in the Carpenter Avenue storage tank zone may experience low water pressure beginning Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to the Meriden Water Division. Bypass testing could continue through Wednesday, Nov. 11.

The testing is preparation for a new roof on the storage tank, according to the division's notice. During the test, the division will isolate the tank and rely on a pump station to supply water directly to the affected area. Crews will monitor pressure at key fire hydrants.
