Nottingham Road sidewalk project causes water main break
UPDATE: August 8, 2018 – 9:20 p.m.
Water service has been restored on Nottingham Road in Avon to the buildings that were affected by the water main break. The town of Avon’s sidewalk project contractor finished repairs; crews completed leak checks and flushed the affected area to clear dirty water from the outage area.
Affected properties may temporarily experience low water pressure while water lines refill. The emergency outage will likely stir up sediment that may briefly cause discolored water in some properties and will also likely cause cloudy water due to air in the system. The water is safe to drink and you can clear your pipes by running faucets that do not have a screen – such as a bathtub or an outside spigot. Flush your lines until the water runs clear.
August 8, 2018 – 4 p.m.
Water service is temporarily off to nine complexes on Nottingham Road in Avon due to a break in the water main associated with the town of Avon Nottingham Road sidewalk project. Repair crews are onsite and will stay until water service is restored, which is expected to be tonight (8/8).
