Residents in Thomaston are being encouraged to boil their tap water before drinking or using it for cooking, due to a precautionary boil water advisory for some roads.
Connecticut Water has issued the advisory for about 150 customers in Thomaston, because of a mechanical issue that caused low-water pressure in the affected neighborhood:
- Atwood Road
- Atwood Heights
- Smith Road
- Twin Pond Road
- Portions of Ada Drive, Mason Hill Road and High Street Extension
When there is low pressure, Connecticut Water said they need to test the water to make sure no bacteria got into the water main when the pressure dropped.
