Water main replacement project scheduled to start April 7, 2025

Westport, CONN. – April 1, 2025– Aquarion Water Company continues to perform essential work on the infrastructure necessary to ensure continued system reliability. A water main replacement project is scheduled to begin April 7, 2025, on Riverside Avenue, followed by Charles Street in Westport, CT. The project is expected to be completed by fall 2025. Final paving will then be scheduled in coordination with the town and state.

The project, which will replace approximately 5,400 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 from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and/or 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. for evening work. Danbury-based David Tinker Excavating, LLC will serve as the contractor for the water main replacement project.
