Main Replacement Project Scheduled to Start on June 15, 2026
Southbury, Conn. – June 15, 2026 – Aquarion Water Company continues to perform essential work on the infrastructure necessary to ensure continued system reliability. The water main replacement project is scheduled to begin June 15, 2026, on Lakemere Drive, White Birch Drive, White Pine Road, Hi Low Road, Hornet Nest Road, Indian Trail, Rock Ridge Road, and Hilltop Trail. The project is expected to be completed by November 2026. Final paving will then be scheduled in coordination with the Town of Southbury.
The project, which will replace approximately 7,435 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. Bethel-based David Tinker Excavating will serve as the contractor for the project.
