Infrastructure Projects

System improvements, upgrades and projects

We are continuously working to maintain and improve the water system.  Some of the major projects we are currently working on involve the installation of new, or the replacement of existing, equipment and facilities needed to provide safe, reliable water service.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as Aquarion and Eversource continue to work to improve vital water and natural gas infrastructure for the area. We are pleased to share with you a summary of our work scheduled in Wilton for 2023. Watermain testing will continue in June requiring excavation of the roadway at various locations. Upon completion of testing, pavement reconstruction of New Canaan Road will begin in Wilton from Belden Hill Road to Old Boston Road. Beginning in June, water and gas pipelines will be installed in Silvermine Road (Route 106) from Littlebrook Road to Valley Road in New Canaan.
