Water Main Replacement Project Scheduled to Start April 27, 2026
Westport, CONN. – April 20, 2026 – Aquarion Water Company continues to perform essential work on infrastructure necessary to ensure continued system reliability. The water main replacement project is scheduled to begin on April 27, 2026, on Charles Street, followed by Evergreen Avenue, Evergreen Parkway, and New Creek Road. The project is expected to be completed by the spring of 2027. Final paving will then be scheduled in coordination with the Town of Westport.
The project, which will replace approximately 6,895 feet of water main, is part of an ongoing program to improve Aquarion’s water distribution system and 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 Aaron Nezvesky, 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 working hours from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Westport-based AJ Penna & Son will serve as the contractor for the water main replacement project.
