July 27th, 2023 BACTERIA WAS FOUND In WESTERN CT WATER SUPPLIES

Ensuring the safety and cleanliness of our water supplies is a community effort. Recently on July 27th, 2023 the residents of several Connecticut towns, were urged to boil their water due to advisories issued by Connecticut Water. We are pleased to report that these advisories have now been canceled, but the event underscores the importance of water safety. Find out which of our CT towns we affected below.

Thomaston, a town known for its rich history and cultural heritage, recently faced a boil water advisory. The Thomaston Water System serves approximately 2,500 customers. Given the town's population of over 7,000 residents, the advisory likely caused concern for many families. With the advisory now lifted, daily routines can return to normal. But this incident emphasizes the need for continued vigilance when it comes to water safety.

In Terryville, a charming town with a population of about 5,000, the advisory may have impacted half of its residents. As one of the communities served by the Thomaston Water System, the lifted advisory brings relief, but also a reminder. It underscores the significance of proactive steps in ensuring water safety, particularly in smaller towns where water system issues can affect a substantial portion of the population.

For Southbury, a town with over 19,000 residents, the advisory was particularly impactful. The Heritage Village system serves a significant portion of this community, making water safety a major concern during the advisory period. With the advisory lifted, residents can breathe a sigh of relief, yet the experience serves as a potent reminder of the importance of regular water testing.

The residents of Oxford, a town of about 13,000 people, were also part of the communities affected by the advisory. Water safety plays a vital role in the wellbeing of this close-knit community, and the recent advisory only emphasizes this. Now, more than ever, it's crucial to stay informed and proactive when it comes to maintaining safe and clean water.

Middlebury, known for its picturesque landscapes and a population of over 7,000, was not spared from the advisory. The water advisory may have affected many households. Now that the advisory is canceled, the incident leaves behind a call to action: water safety should be a top priority

While the boil water advisories for these towns have been lifted, the recent event is a stark reminder of the importance of regular water testing and safety vigilance. Bacterial contamination can pose serious health risks, and ensuring your water supply's cleanliness can never be overemphasized.

High Rock Water urges CT homeowners to take this as an opportunity to schedule a free water test if your area was affected. A comprehensive water quality test can provide invaluable peace of mind and serve as a first line of defense against potential water quality issues. If bacteria is found in your water you may need water filtration services to ensure your water is safe.
