Water Main Flushing Could Impact Your Water
But the Connecticut Water Co. says any impacts would be short-lived and the flushing has an end result of cleaner water for Tolland residents.
The Connecticut Water Co. will be flushing its water mains in Tolland sometime between April 14 and May 16.
The company says routine flushing helps make sure fire hydrants are working and maintains water quality by scouring the inside of the water mains. Water main flushing will take place between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, during the scheduled days.
"During water main flushing it is possible that some customers may experience discolored water and pressure fluctuations," the company states. "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."
