Water Main Replacement Project Scheduled to Start in Early May 2026
Bridgeport, CONN. – April 28, 2026 – Aquarion Water Company continues to perform essential work on infrastructure necessary to ensure continued system reliability. The water main replacement project is scheduled to begin in early May 2026 on Abner Court, followed by Albermarie Street, Ameridge Drive, Cherry Hill Drive, D’Eramo Place, Glendale Avenue, Jewett Avenue, Marconi Avenue, Martha Place, Plankton Street, Primrose Avenue, and Ruth Street. The project is expected to be completed by May 2027. Final paving will then be scheduled in coordination with the City of Bridgeport.
The project, which will replace approximately 9,865 feet of water main, is part of an ongoing program to improve Aquarion’s water distribution system and 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 Aaron Nezvesky, 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 working hours from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Westport-based A J Penna & Son will serve as the contractor for the water main replacement project.
