CT Water to Begin Flushing Hydrants

The Connecticut Water Co. announced today that it will begin flushing its water mains in Naugatuck and other towns today and will continue through May 24.

The company said in a news release that it will flush water mains in the Borough plus Beacon Falls, Middlebury, Naugatuck, Plymouth, Prospect, Thomaston and Waterbury between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

"Routine flushing helps to maintain water quality by scouring the inside of the water mains," the company's news release states. 

During water main flushing, it is possible that some customers may experience discolored water and pressure fluctuations, the company said. The discolored water should clear within a few hours. While experiencing discolored water, customers should avoid using their washing machine, dishwasher, or other water using devices. Customers should call Connecticut Water at 1-800-286-5700 if discolored water persists for more than a few hours.

Connecticut Water’s full water main flushing schedule is available on its website, and is posted to the company’s Facebook page and Twitter feed.
