Aquarion Improving Water Mains in Cornwall

Water main cleaning scheduled to take place in Cornwall on October 13

BRIDGEPORT, CONN. – October 5, 2021 – Aquarion Water Company today announced a water main cleaning project in Cornwall, CT. The project, scheduled to take place on October 13, 2021, is being undertaken to ensure Cornwall customers continue to receive the highest quality water.

During the water main cleaning project customers may notice some discoloration in their water. This discoloration results from the temporary disturbance of the water flow, which stirs up naturally occurring minerals that settle in water mains. Aquarion recommends customers store water in their refrigerators for drinking and cooking. Customers should also refrain from washing laundry if water is discolored. Prior to resuming use, customers should run their cold water faucets until the water appears clear.

The water main cleaning project is scheduled for October 13, 2021 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The list of streets where the cleaning will take place is below; the list can also be found at www.aquarionwater.com/alerts. For other questions, please contact Aquarion’s Customer Service Center at 1-800-732-9678 or cs@aquarionwater.com.
