DPW UPDATE PROVIDED ON 10/26/2018 AT 3:30PM: The previously issued advisory, regarding the practice of boiling water prior to consumption, has been lifted. Thank you for your patience.
Winsted Water Works has announced that a water main broke on North Main Street, near Wallens Street overnight. The leak has been contained to the immediate area of the break. Crews are on site now completing the repairs. Users who were effected may have noted a loss in pressure. For those who have observed a loss in water pressure, it is adviseable to boil tap water for at least one minute prior to drinking, cooking or consuming until further notice.
