Church Hill Road Project Scheduled to Begin October 15

NEWTOWN, CONN. – October 14, 2019 – Aquarion Water Company today announced a water main replacement project on Church Hill Road between Queen Street and the railroad overpass near Wall Road.

Scheduled to begin October 15, 2019, the work is expected to be completed by mid-December. The project, which will replace 2,100 feet of water main, is part of an ongoing program to improve Aquarion’s water distribution system and to ensure the highest quality water. This infrastructure replacement project will also help to reduce leaks and water main breaks that can cause service interruptions.

During the project, customers in the area may experience temporary service disruptions or discolored water. Aquarion recommends customers store water in their refrigerators for drinking and cooking in case these circumstances arise. Customers also should refrain from washing laundry if their water is discolored. Prior to resuming use, customers should run their cold-water faucets until the water appears clear.

“We greatly appreciate residents’ patience during this project,” said Michael Hiltz, 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 evening working hours of 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Norwalk, CT-based Rondano Construction will be serving as the contractor for the water main replacement project.

To keep customers informed about scheduled/unscheduled work, Aquarion utilizes a CodeRED notification system to call affected customers. Aquarion encourages customers to sign up for this free service at www.aquarionwater.com/codered.
