Mystic Water Mains To Be Cleaned In 6-Week Project

MYSTIC, CT — Aquarion Water Company announced it will begin a water main cleaning project in Mystic. The project will be Oct. 9 through Nov. 17.

The company said the project "is being undertaken to ensure customers in Mystic and Stonington continue to receive the highest quality water."

Aquarion said customers may notice temporary low pressure or discoloration in their water during the project. The 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. Customers should also refrain from washing laundry if water is discolored. Prior to resuming use, customers should run their cold-water faucets until the water appears clear.

The company encourages customers to sign up for automatic alerts by going to its website.
