Water main replacement project scheduled to start October 10, 2022

MONROE, CONN. – October 07, 2022 – Aquarion Water Company continues to perform essential work on infrastructure necessary to ensure continued system reliability.  A water main replacement project is scheduled to begin October 10, 2022 on Purdy Hill Road in Monroe. The project work will take place between 165 and 192 Purdy Hill Road and is expected to be completed by the end of December 2022.  Final paving will then be scheduled in coordination with the Town of Monroe and is anticipated to be completed by May 31, 2023.

The project, which will replace approximately 770 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 during the working hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Danbury-based David Tinker Excavation will be serving as the contractor for the water main replacement project.
