Water Main Cleaning To Affect Water Service In Stonington

STONINGTON, CT — Aquarion Water Company will conduct water main cleaning in parts of Stonington from May 18 through May 22 as part of routine system maintenance.

The work will take place daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and may temporarily affect water service for some customers. According to the company, residents in the affected areas could experience low water pressure, brief interruptions in service or discolored water while crews clean the mains.

Aquarion said discoloration can occur when naturally occurring minerals inside water pipes are disturbed during the cleaning process. Customers who notice discolored water are advised to run a cold-water faucet until the water clears before using it normally. The company also recommends delaying laundry until the discoloration is gone to avoid staining clothing.

Affected streets include Bay Street, Borodell Avenue, Broadway Avenue, Brown Street, Church Street, Cottrell Street, Denison Avenue, East Main Street, Elm Place, Forsythe Street, Frazier Street, Greenmanville Avenue, Haley Street, Holmes Street, Ivy Road, Jackson Avenue, Lincoln Avenue, Main Street, Maywood Road, Mistuxet Avenue, Park Avenue, Reynolds Hill Road, Roosevelt Avenue, School Street, Stanton Place, Sumit Street, Washington Street, Wausau Place, William Avenue and Willow Street.

Aquarion noted that surrounding streets could also experience impacts during the maintenance work.
