Ansonia posts possible discolored water alert

Regional Water Authority- Possible Discolored Water

The City of Ansonia has been advised by the Regional Water Authority that as a result of the extreme heat and increased water demands, residents may experience temporarily discolored water over the next few days.

Discoloration of water may occur when the naturally occurring minerals that normally settle to the bottom of a water main are stirred up due to a change in the flow of water. Discolored water is usually not harmful, but it is unappealing and can cause residue or stains.

Regional Water recommends that customers wait until the discoloration clears before drinking the water, and also postpone doing dishes and laundry to avoid residue or stains.

Discolored water is temporary and most discolored water events clear on their own. Regional Water will also have crews in the field all weekend to help clear up discolored water issues.

For up to date information visit the RWA Website rwater.com or their social media pages. You can also call them at 203 562-4020.

Have a safe Independence Day weekend, stay cool and don't forget to check on your neighbors, family and friends as we deal with this extreme heat together.

Ansonia's Cooling Center at the ARMS Building located at 22 West Main St. remains open daily through Sunday for residents who need to escape the heat in an air conditioned space from 9 am until 6 pm.

'Turnback Tuesday' celebrates Independence Day, showcases famous artist

Turnback Tuesday celebrates our country's independence.

This postcard is a copy of the famous painting done by American artist John Trumbull.

A smaller version (20” x 31”) was done circa 1786 depicting the presentation of the draft of the Declaration of Independence.

This painting is at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven. In 1817, Trumbull was commissioned to paint a total of four large paintings. This 12’ x 18’ painting was presented to the public on October 5, 1818 along with the other three.

The painting shows 42 of the 56 signers with many of the figures being painted from life.

In 1826, the painting with the three other works of John Trumbull were placed in the rotunda of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. where they can still be admired today.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting history each week.
