A water main break in Danbury prompted a boil water advisory for people living in the area.
The advisory is in place for water customers east of Main Street, east of North Street up to Route 84 and south to South Street.
The statement released by DPH said, "DPH is closely monitoring the water main break on Tamarack Avenue in Danbury and providing assistance to the Danbury Health Department, Danbury Hospital, the Danbury Municipal Water System, and several nursing homes, assisted living and other healthcare facilities impacted by this break.
We are currently working on disinfection and flushing plans and procedures for Danbury Hospital and other healthcare facilities to implement to ensure a safe return to full service once the main is repaired and water is restored, and we will monitor to ensure the procedures are followed so that services are safely restored.” "We [are] issuing a boil water advisory to these customers due to loss of system pressure," the city released in a statement on Tuesday morning.
Additional shuttles will be provided to help students from Midtown get to the Westside campuses.
Midtown dining services will be closed, but the Westside campus will remain open.
The break also closed a school.
According to Mayor Mark Boughton, the Broadview Middle School was closed on Tuesday as a result of the break.
