Water pressure restored in Danbury, but bottled water usage still urged

A water main break in Danbury continues to cause issues for a section of the city, including Western Connecticut State University, on Wednesday.
The school, which has also been dealing with cases of norovirus, told students on Tuesday that the break has made campus water unsafe for use.
Some restrictions still apply.
"Please boil water before using if you are on city water," Boughton reported on social media.
Because of the break, they initially couldn’t do that.
"Do not drink, wash your hands or brush your teeth with water from any faucet on the midtown campus," the school said in a statement to students.
"Classes and other operations will continue, but the university is distributing bottled water throughout midtown for drinking, hand washing and other health uses."
WCSU has been providing additional shuttles over to the O’Neill Center on the westside of campus for students to shower.
