Berlin Water Works has completed about 80 percent of the 5,800-foot water line to connect the Berlin water system with the federal prison site, Water Works Superintendent Roland Viens told the Water Commission at its monthly meeting last week.
The anticipated completion of the water main installation is mid June, well ahead of the bid completion due date of October 1.
