Noank Water Company

---

Potter Court water main project is nearly complete.  The water main is installed, new gate valves are in place and the system is energized.  The week of 10/28/2024 the new system is undergoing a sanitizing process to ensure the water is safe before connecting the residences on Potter Court. This is why you may not see any activity during this period.  The water test takes several days for results to come back from the State labs.  Once we receive the results and we're clear to proceed, we will begin making the connections to the system.  This process will take approximately 10 days to complete.  The process looks like this.  Each service connection will be excavated from the water main to the Curb Stop (water shutoff) and we will install a new 1" copper line from the main to the Curb Stop.  If all goes as planned we should be able to complete 2 connections each day.  Please be aware this work may interfere with parking.  Each day we will close the trench so property owners can re-enter their driveways.  Once again, we appreciate your patience.


Sincerely
Ted Rathjen

The Noank Fire District would like to extend a sincere thanks to Russ Fowler upon his retirement from the Noank Water Company for all his years of service to the Noank community. Russ served on the Zoning Commission in many capacities for close to 30 years. He served as the Water Company Superintendent for 26 years, starting in 1998. In that capacity, he handled hundreds of CBYD calls, annual hydrant flushings, water testing, and more than a few water main breaks. He also handled customer complaints/problems with good humor. His major achievement was the replacement of the Mosher Avenue Bridge. He acted as liaison to the state for the project. While it took longer than anticipated, the village now has a safe new bridge which is largely due to the persistence of Russ. In addition he ran the Harrison Morton Ward Post 115 of the American Legion. We can thank Russ for organizing our Memorial Day Parade which was sponsored by the American Legion. We all wish him a wonderful retirement and are looking forward to seeing him around Noank.
