Water Company
Tomascak Plumbing operates and maintains our water distribution system that runs throughout the Shores. The water delivery system was updated in Dec. 2016, to incorporate the latest technology in electronic controls, booster pumps, and switching systems. It replaced an antiquated system, which will ensure reliable water delivery throughout the community.
Tomascak Plumbing also monitors the wells and pumps for those wells. We have a pump house and a pressure station along with two storage tanks. The water is tested regularly to ensure that all health standards are met. Chlorine testing is done daily, and regular testing is done by York Analytical in Newtown, CT. The test results are sent monthly to the Department of Health in Hartford.
Candlewood Shores has two holding tanks, one has a capacity of 104,000 gallons of water and the other holds 20,000 gallons. These tanks provide approximately a 3-day buffer in case of a disruption. The pump house and the pressure station both have back up propane generators, which come on if there is a power outage so residents always have water.
All meters have been upgraded with a retro fit meter reader. Bills are sent every 4 months. These meters are very important to ensure accurate water usage readings and billing.
