Water Main Replacement Project Scheduled to Start May 8, 2023

NEW CANAAN, CONN. – May 4, 2023 – Aquarion Water Company continues to perform essential work on infrastructure necessary to ensure continued system reliability.  A water main replacement project in New Canaan is scheduled to begin May 8 on Orchard Drive, Lakeview Avenue, Weed Street, West Road, and Greenly Road.  The project is expected to be completed by October 2023.   Final paving will then be scheduled in coordination with the Town of New Canaan.

The project, which will replace approximately 7000 feet of water main, is part of an ongoing program to improve Aquarion’s water distribution system and to ensure the highest quality water.  The infrastructure upgrades will also help to reduce leaks and water main breaks that can cause service interruptions.

“We greatly appreciate residents’ patience during this project,” said Justin Xenelis, Aquarion’s Manager of Utility Programs.  “We will work closely with our customers, contractors, and town officials to coordinate the work and minimize any disruptions.”

Due to construction, customers should expect minor traffic delays and possible detours during the working hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  David Tinker Excavating will be serving as the contractor for the water main replacement project.
