Water Infrastructure Work to Begin in Simsbury
Water main replacement projects scheduled to start April 1, 2025
Simsbury, CONN. – March 18, 2025 – Aquarion Water Company continues to perform essential work on the infrastructure necessary to ensure continued system reliability. Water main replacement projects are scheduled to begin on April 1 on Katherine Lane and Windham Drive, followed by Valley View Road, Bob White Way, High Hill Circle, Richard Road, Branch Brook Road, and Cornfield Road in Simsbury, CT. The projects are expected to be completed by the winter of 2025. Final paving will then be scheduled in coordination with the Town of Simsbury.
The projects, which will replace approximately 7,900 feet of water main, are 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 disruptions.”
Due to construction, customers should expect minor traffic delays and possible detours from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Simsbury-based Compass Enterprises, Inc. will serve as the contractor for the water main replacement project.
To keep customers informed about scheduled/unscheduled work, Aquarion utilizes an Everbridge notification system to call affected customers. Aquarion encourages customers to sign up for this free service at www.aquarionwater.com/alerts. Information regarding Aquarion construction projects can be found at www.aquarionwater.com/projects.
Aquarion asks that residents on affected streets mark out all sprinkler and electric dog fence systems on their property by April 1, 2025, to help prevent accidental damage during construction.
