Sheffield — Aquarion Water Company announced via a press release on Monday, April 7, a water main cleaning project in the Sheffield system. The project is scheduled to run from April 13 to April 15.
The cleaning schedule will take place from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. on the following streets: Ashley Falls Road, Bears Den Road, Berkshire School Road, Boardman Street, Bow Wow Road, Bridge View Lane, Cobble Lane, Cook Road, County Road, Depot Square, Dewy Way, East Road, Elm Court, Farm View Road, Frederic Lane, Hewins Street, Laurel Lane, Main Street, Maple Avenue, Miller Avenue, North Main Street, Old Mill Pond Road, Park Lane, Pheasant Lane, Pike Road, Plymouth Lane, Root Lane, South Main Street, Salisbury Road, Sheffield Plain, Silver Street, Spring Hollow Lane, Squire Lane, Water Farm Road, Weidmar Terrace, and Woodedge Lane.
During the 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 Aquarion’s website 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.
