In the coming weeks, a two-person Arcadis inspection team will conduct in-home service line inspections at select Manchester residences. Team members will carry identification badges and wear Arcadis-branded safety vests. If your property is selected for inspection, you will receive a door hanger notice in advance. Please call 860-647-6050 with any questions or concerns.
Due to staffing shortages in the Building Inspection Division, permit processing and inspection scheduling may be delayed. To monitor your permit status, visit the Online Permit Portal or call 860-647-3052. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
Support Our Soldiers/SOS-Connecticut is sponsoring a “Support our Troops” cookie collection and packing event, Sunday, December 1, 2024. This will be held at the Hillstown Grange Hall, 617 Hills Street, East Hartford. Cookies will be collected from noon to 1 p.m.; packing should be completed by 2:30 p.m. This event is basically a 'cookie exchange' except all the cookies are sent to Soldiers stations around the world away from home for the Holidays. The group is looking for donations of homemade or store-bought cookies. No store brand cookies please, go for the good stuff like Oreos.
A popular item is Christmas, New Years and winter theme drawings. Volunteers are needed starting at noon to sort donations and pack the boxes. We are running low on names and addresses of Soldiers stationed overseas so if you know one, please let me know. Also, postage for this event is about $800 and donations are needed to cover that. Checks can be made out to SOS-Connecticut and mailed to SOS-CT c/o Frank Forrest, 165 Maple Street, East Hartford, CT 06118.
This is a great event to support our Troops stationed away from home for the Holidays and organizations that are interested in helping, please contact us. For more information, to donate merchandise in advance of the event, call Frank Forrest at 860-690-2845 - sosconnecticut@aol.com.
