DARIEN, CONN. – June 28, 2023 – Aquarion Water Company is performing essential work on water infrastructure in Darien necessary to ensure continued system reliability. 

On July 5, 2023, construction is scheduled to start on a replacement pump station on Park Lane in Darien.  The project is designed to replace an obsolete pump station and is part of an ongoing program to improve Aquarion’s water distribution system and to ensure the highest quality water and service in Darien.  The project is expected to be completed in fall 2024.

“We greatly appreciate residents’ patience during this project,” said Mike Hiltz, Aquarion’s Manager of Capital Delivery, Engineering and Planning.  “We will work closely with our customers, contractors, and town officials to coordinate the work and minimize any disruptions.”
