FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (Bristol, CT), May 2, 2018 –

Park Street Water Service Replacement Project and Detour Park Street

The Bristol Water Department will begin work on a project to replace aging water

services along Park Street on Monday May 7, 2018. The project is being conducted in

preparation for a State of Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) Roadway

Resurfacing Project. A DOT approved detour will be put in place each day between the

hours of 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM, directing thru traffic along Divinity Street. The Bristol

Water Department estimates that the work will be complete, weather dependent, by July

31, 2018.

Water services installed in the early 1900’s will be replaced with new copper services

from the water main to the customers shut off valve at many properties along Park Street.

Work will be done from the eastern intersection of Park and Divinity Streets to the

western intersection of Park and Divinity Streets. Water may be shut off to specific

properties for a short period while the new service is connected to the existing service.

We thank all of our customers in advance for their patience and understanding during this

project.

Anyone with questions or concerns on the project may contact the Bristol Water

Department at 860-582-7431. Information can also be found on the Bristol Water

Department’s website at www.bristolwaterdept.org or on the Bristol Water Department’s
