The Winsted Water Department will be conducting inspections on certain properties that lay within the town’s local watersheds as part of the 2021 Annual Watershed Survey.
The intent of these surveys is to identify potential sources of pollution within public water-supply watersheds, including but not limited to failing septic systems, leaking fuel storage tanks, and runoff from large agricultural operations.
Properties subject to inspection are located within the Crystal Lake and Rugg Brook Reservoir watersheds in Winchester and the Mad River watershed in Winchester and Norfolk. Please be advised that Lenard Engineering, Inc. will be conducting the inspections on behalf of the Winsted Water Department during the months of March and April of 2021. Inspections involve routine examination of physical conditions on each property.
Access to the inside of residential or commercial structures is not required. Furthermore, Lenard Engineering’s inspection personnel will carry identification and a letter of explanation from the Winchester Water and Sewer Commission. Please feel free to contact the Department of Public Works with any questions at (860) 379-4070.
