Water Main Cleaning In Ansonia

The Regional Water Authority routinely cleans about a quarter of all the water mains in our distribution system every year. We’ll be working in Woodbridge and in Ansonia for the rest of the week.

Water main cleaning is an essential part of maintaining our distribution system to maintain good water quality and improve water flow through the mains.

The water mains are cleaned by systematically opening hydrants to force water through the pipes at high velocity. 

Cleaning the water mains may cause a temporary slight drop in water pressure and discolored water. We ask that customers please check the condition of their water before doing laundry, and run the cold water in the tub for several minutes if the water is discolored. 

Please visit www.rwater.com for more information. Call us at 203 – 562-4020 if your water remains discolored or you have any questions.

Water mains being cleaned the week of April 18 – 22, 2016 are:

Woodbridge: Center Road from Amity Road to Westward Road and then to Rimmon Road to the Ansonia line. Beecher Road, Newton Road, and Meetinghouse Lane will also be cleaned.

Ansonia: Rimmon Road from the Woodbridge line, south on Clinton Road and Beaver Street. Streets off Beaver Street that will be included are Behrle Drive, North Street, Brook Street, Middle Street, Eagle Street, East Street and Myrtle Avenue.
