Mayor Pernerewski Provides Update on Water
Restoration and Boil Water Advisory
(Waterbury, CT) Mayor Paul K. Pernerewski, Jr.
announced today that water service has now been restored citywide. All
residents should have water service available in their homes at this time.
Residents who do not currently have running water are
likely experiencing an air lock within their service line. The City is actively
addressing these issues. Residents without flowing water are encouraged to call
311 or (203) 597-3444 to provide their address, or to send a private message to
the Mayor s Office through the city s official social media channels so Water
Department crews can be dispatched to assist and restore service.
While water service has been restored, the City of
Waterbury remains under a boil water advisory. Water samples will be collected
this morning and sent to a State-certified laboratory for testing. Results are
expected to be returned on Thursday. The boil water advisory will remain in
effect until testing confirms that the water is free of bacteria and safe for
consumption.
Mayor Pernerewski acknowledged the disruption
residents have experienced and thanked the community for their continued
patience and cooperation throughout the restoration process.
We understand how difficult and stressful this
situation has been for residents and families across our city, Mayor
Pernerewski said. Our teams are continuing to respond quickly to remaining
issues while ensuring the safety of our water supply remains our top priority.
The city will continue to provide updates as test
results are received and any remaining service issues are resolved.
