Over the next 2 weeks, crews will be doing a leaf collection test run in select areas to test equipment functionality. This is not the official leaf pickup. A second, formal pass will follow later to collect leaves properly. The official leaf collection programs begins November 10. Thank you for your patience while we fine-tune the process.
The Town of Manchester will conduct a fire flow/hydraulic capacity test at 160 Spruce Street, Manchester CT to determine the effects upon the water distribution system. The test will take place on Wednesday, November 5th, 2025, starting at 10:00 AM.
