Description
Description | A catastrophic failure of a high-pressure water line in Waterbury's aging water system caused a major water outage affecting about 60% of the city and parts of two suburbs. The failure involved a 42-inch transmission main and an earlier failure of a 10-inch water line, leading to extensive damage and disruption. The city is in the midst of a $30 million program to upgrade its water infrastructure, but the break occurred while a backup main was under repair. Efforts to restore service included assistance from the National Guard and state emergency agencies, water distribution points, and hospital water service restoration. |
