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 Enfield residents.
The Connecticut Water Co. will be flushing its water mains in Enfield between April 21 and April 24.
The company says routine flushing helps maintain water quality by scouring the inside of the water mains. Water main flushing will take place between the hours of 7 p.m. and 11 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."
