Where Does My Water Come From in Waterbury CT?

Did you know that the source of your water in Waterbury CT comes from 5 surface reservoirs? These reservoirs are located in two separate and distinct watersheds in Litchfield County. The Shepaug and Cairns Reservoirs
are located in the Shepaug Watershed and the Wigwam,
Morris and Pitch Reservoirs are located in the West
Branch Watershed with a combined capacity of 6 billion
gallons of water.

First, the raw water is sent for conventional filtration by a dual media sand filtration system located at the Harry P. Danaher Water Treatment Plant in Thomaston, CT. The Waterbury Water Department conducts annual Watershed Sanitary Surveys, semi-annual Water Quality, and Pollution Source Assessments. These are done to protect the water supply from man-made pollutants and contaminants.

What Contaminates My Water in Waterbury CT?

There are many factors that can contaminate a private well. In very wet seasons and during flooding, water can carry pesticides, fertilizers, chemicals, and roadway runoff toward your home. Storm sewer backups are particularly dangerous for shallow wells. Bacteria, minerals, algae, and radon are other contaminants you want to test for.

Water Services with Eastern Drill

Eastern Drill has been providing residents of Waterbury CT and surrounding towns with reliable water services for over 65 years. We can also provide an alternate source of water if needed. Here are some tips on why you should get your water tested:

1. Changes in Water Color

First, people often don't think about the quality of their water until there is a noticeable change. A sure way to know when it's time for a water test is if your water changes color. Any change in hue can be concerning.

2. Local Water Quality Issues:

Second, natural disasters can cause water quality to be compromised for a long time. After one occurs, it's common for contaminants to leak into your drinking water supply. The most threatening contaminants in these cases are mold and bacteria.

3. Small Children In The Home

Next, children are the most vulnerable population group because they generally drink more water per pound of body weight than adults, leading to greater exposure and therefore a higher risk. Furthermore, their bodies are still growing, so toxic chemicals cause more damage to developing tissue.
