The Town of Manchester Water Department is issuing a water conservation alert to all citizens, businesses, institutions, and residents of Glastonbury in the Manchester Water service area.
Due to a 24” pipe break at the Globe Hollow Water Treatment Plant, and firefighting activities on Main Street in Manchester, we are issuing a voluntary conservation alert while repairs to the water treatment plant piping are underway.
We anticipate the repair to be complete by 8:00 pm today, Friday December 8, 2023, at which time normal water usage may resume. This conservation alert requests that all users be mindful of water usage by waiting to use water for dishwashing, washing machines, outdoor or other non-essential uses.
The Town of Manchester thanks our water customers for their participation in helping reduce water usage at this time. For further information, please call us at (860) 647-6050.
