“Regional Water Authority construction crews are responding to a water main failure at the intersection of Wakelee Avenue and Franklin Street in Ansonia.
We are attempting to maintain pressure and provide adequate volume of water supply to the areas north of this intersection via two temporary modifications to the distribution system in this immediate area. Please note that there may be reduced pressure and volume in the affected area despite these modifications. Both Ansonia and Seymour Fire Departments have been notified.
Specific customers impacted are those residing on the following streets; Wakelee Avenue north of Franklin and Great Hill Rd in Ansonia and Great Hill Rd/Fountain Lake Rd, Derby Ave, Bungay Rd, Brookdale Rd and Ansmour Rd in Seymour.
The time needed to repair the failed main and for full service restoration are unknown at this time as existing conditions are being identified.”
