By |

Two little dogs are under home quarantine after biting their owner’s finger badly, police said. The Cavalier King Charles spaniels, of Mill Road, early in the morning of Sept. 22 (a Thursday) injured their owner while he was giving them treats, according to Officer Allyson Halm of the New Canaan Police Department’s Animal Control section. The animals began to battle and the owner stuck in his right hand to break up the tussle, and got hurt, she said. The injuries were severe enough that the man went to the hospital, according to Halm.

Following up on work that started in early June, the First District Water Company of Norwalk will install a new water main on Mill Road from Silvermine Road to the town border next week, public works officials said. Work will begin Monday, July 6 and should wrap up within three weeks, according to Tiger Mann, assistant director of the New Canaan Department of Public Works. According to Westport-based A.J. Penna & Son Excavating Contractors, which will carry out the work, the same motor vehicle re-routing plan will be put in place as earlier in June (see PDF below). According to Penna’s detour route, traffic heading north on Silvermine trying to access Mill will be routed to Route 106/Old Wilton Road-Old Kings Highway-Forge Road. Traffic heading south on Silvermine Road will continue south to Silvermine Avenue-River Road-Mill Road.
