Description
Description | A major water main break in Waterbury, Connecticut, caused a catastrophic failure in the city's water system, leaving about 60,000 to 70,000 residents without water. The break originated from a 12-inch main installed in 1905, which led to the failure of a pressurized 36-inch main. Crews are repairing a leak in a large valve and plan to use a temporary bypass to restore water service to affected areas. The city has been conducting ongoing repairs, including a slip lining project on a 42-inch main on Thomaston Avenue that started in May to rehabilitate the aging infrastructure without full replacement. |
