New Canaan, CONN. – April 22, 2025 – Aquarion Water Company is performing essential work on water infrastructure in New Canaan necessary to ensure continued system reliability and water quality. 

On May 5, 2025, Aquarion’s contractor is scheduled to begin constructing a tank chlorine boosting facility adjacent to the company’s existing water tank at 671 South Avenue (Waveny Park).
