VERNON, Conn. — Crews are working to repair a watermain break that impacting customers Sunday morning.
In a Facebook post, Vernon Police said, "CT Water is on scene of a significant water main break at Windsorville Road near Franklin Street. CT Water is reporting many customers will experience low water pressure over the next hour or so as they attempt to contain and isolate the leak. The complete repair is expected to take most of the day and CT water will be notifying affected customers."
Officials said a water main break on Windsorville Road by Stop and Shop caused low or non pressure for some customers in parts of Ellington, South Windsor, and Vernon. The break has been isolated and pressure is returning to normal. Some customers may see discolored water because of sediment stirred up. Our crews are flushing the water system to clear the discolored water. There are a handful of customers in the valved off area that do not have water service. No estimate yet on when their service will be restored.
CT Water said in a Facebook post:
This main break will cause discolored water , loss or no pressure in your lines. Please refrain from using water at this time while we work to repair the main break. After repair if you have discolored water please run the COLD water only in your bathtub for a few minutes until the water has cleared. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to repair this main break
