Aquarian to improve water mains in Falls Village

FALLS VILLAGE — Aquarion Water Company announced a water main cleaning project in its Canaan System. The project, scheduled to run from Oct. 20 and 21, will ensure customers in Falls Village continue to receive the highest quality water.

The cleaning schedule will take place overnight from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. on the following streets:

Beebe Hill Rd, Brewster Rd, Dublin Rd, Facchin St, Main St, Miner St, Point of Rocks Rd, Prospect St, Railroad St, Route 7 N, Route 7 S, Warren Tpke Rd, and Water St.

During water main cleaning, customers may experience temporary low pressure, no water and/or discolored water. This discoloration results from the temporary disturbance of the water flow, which stirs up naturally occurring minerals that settle in water mains.

Aquarion recommends that customers store water in their refrigerators for drinking and cooking. If the water is discolored, customers should refrain from washing laundry. Before resuming use, customers should run their cold-water faucets until the water appears clear.

Customers can visit www.aquarionwater.com/alerts to sign up for automated alerts and get the latest project information. Customers with questions should contact Aquarion’s Customer Service Center at 1-800-732-9678 or cs@aquarionwater.com.
