The City tried to bring Broadbrook reservoir back on line again. The tests on the water indicated the algae issue had been resolved, but that does not seem to be the case. We have taken the reservoir off line again as of last Friday and begun clearing lines where problems have been reported.

LK,
Dealing with this issue is very frustrating!
How's the water at your house? Come to my house to bathe, wash your clothes and have some pasta, then jello and tea. YOU try living with this! Is this city going to pay for all the water I have had to buy? Ha! Thats a joke, just like the way this is being handled.
For a month or so now this has been going on.
"The reservoir was taken offline as of last Friday"
THEN WHERE ELSE IS THERE A PROBLEM?
this issue continues.....and needs PROPER immediate attention!

The issue is being worked on. The mains and pipes going to neighborhoods have to be flushed to resolve this and that is being done. It would be helpful to have specific addresses where the problem has occured. I can be emailed at lkendzior@ci.meriden.ct.us

Thank you for the fast response. City workers were here on the street taking samples already. I hope what they are doing now will finally resolve the problem.
How long will it take for the flushing?
Thanks again.

Please explain what is being done and how much longer we have to live with this rotten water.

I'm having the same problem on Jepson Lane,I think the city water is what's making our family sick?

I really hope its not the water making your family sick. I am right down the road from you and our water is still awful. This has been going on too long.
" They " say the water is safe, its just very hard to get past the rotten smell and taste.
I hope we get some answers soon, or, as another poster said in a related thread here, we need to start making calls...newspaper, news stations, city and state reps...anyone who can help.

15 days later, the problem continues......dealing with awful smelling and tasting water for months now. Its been too long, I feel like we are being ignored!! And they are charging us more for this disgusting water! UNREAL!

Closing because water seems better the last few days, hope it stays this way.
