Scope of Work

The project includes the construction of a new building and water softening system, 40-ton salt silo, and construction of an approximate 1,500-foot sewer line for connection to the Town system.  In addition to the softening project, Aquarion has decided to replace the aging 1,500-foot water transmission main from the plant site to Woodford Avenue. The plant is expected to be completed in July of 2023.
