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.

City of Ansonia issues Code Red Alert, parking ban lifted

This is a Code Red Alert from the City of Ansonia. 

As of noon on Tuesday, the full parking ban has been lifted. 

The City of Ansonia will still be following the normal winter parking rules. The plowing and cleaning of streets is expected to take multiple days to complete and the State is expected to receive more snow tomorrow. 

Roadways have been narrowed due to the large amount of snow on the streets. If you have the ability, you are requested to find alternate parking and not park on the street, especially those that are narrow. 

When parking on city streets, you cannot park your vehicle if it will block other vehicles from driving on the street. Again, remember that streets have been narrowed by the multiple snow storms. 

Please follow the Board of Education for updates on school opening for Wednesday. If you are parked in a Board of Education lot, please remove your vehicle immediately so that the Board of Education can clear the lots in preparation for opening. 

Remember that residents and businesses are responsible for shoveling the sidewalks in front of their homes or businesses. Do not throw snow into the roadway. Thank you for your patience as this cleanup continues.

Thank you, City of Ansonia 

Ansonia Police Department posts storm alert, parking ban

STORM ALERT/ FULL PARKING BAN

The forecast over the last 24 hours has changed significantly.

We are going to be experiencing a significant winter storm beginning Sunday afternoon and into Monday. Accumulation estimates vary but our area is expected to get over a foot of snow.

The storm track is also forecasting high winds during the storm, resulting in blizzard conditions. This may result in power outages.

These accumulation totals will make it difficult for emergency vehicles and plows to work on City Streets. In anticipation of this winter storm, there will be a FULL parking ban on all city streets starting at 12 noon on Sunday until Monday night, February 23rd at 11:00 pm. These times may be extended based on the track of the storm and the amount of snow received.

All residents must remove their vehicles from the street to assist with plowing and emergency services by noon tomorrow. Vehicles in violation will be ticketed and towed at owner’s expense, beginning after 12 noon tomorrow.

During the storm, all city parking lots including municipal lots, Nolan Field and Board of Education lots will be open for resident parking. Vehicles parked in the school lots should be removed at the end of the parking ban as the roads are cleared.

Please remember to assist your neighbors and make sure that your vehicles are off the road. If you have a fire hydrant in front of your residence or building, please assist the fire department in removing snow from around the fire hydrant.

Trash pickup for Monday will be postponed until Tuesday and will be postponed one day for the rest of the week.

Ansonia Public Schools will be closed on Monday.

All city buildings will be closed on Monday except for essential personnel.

Please remember that it is essential that all vehicles are removed from City streets during the parking ban.
