Aquarion To Begin Water Infrastructure Work In Fairfield This Week

The following announcement is from Aquarion Water Company:

FAIRFIELD, CT — Aquarion Water Company continues to perform essential work on water infrastructure in Fairfield necessary to ensure continued system reliability. On September 6, construction of a pressure-reducing facility replacement project is scheduled to begin at the intersection of Governors Lane and Bronson Road in Fairfield.

This infrastructure upgrade is part of an ongoing program to improve Aquarion’s water distribution system and to ensure the highest quality water and service. The project is designed to maintain water main pressure and fire flow capacity in the greater Bridgeport area and is expected to be completed in April 2023.

“We greatly appreciate residents’ patience during this project,” said Mike Hiltz, Aquarion’s Manager of Capital Delivery, Engineering and Planning. “We will work closely with our customers, contractors, and town officials to coordinate the work and minimize any disruptions.”

Due to construction, residences and businesses should expect minor traffic delays and possible detours during normal working hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Norwalk-based M. Rondano, Inc. will be serving as the general contractor for the project.
