Connecticut Water To Build New Plant In Southbury

SOUTHBURY, CT — Connecticut Water has announced construction of a new water treatment plant in Southbury will begin this month.

The aim of the plant is to expand filtration capabilities and improve drinking water quality for Heritage Village water system customers, according to a statement released on Thursday.

The facility will be built on an easement area at 464 Heritage Road between the Heritage Hotel and the Pomperaug Golf Course. The project is not anticipated to interrupt or disrupt current service operation in the Heritage Village water system while construction takes place, according to water company officials.

The Heritage Village water system is comprised of five groundwater wells capable of producing 2 million gallons per day to more than 5,400 customers, about half of which reside in the Heritage Village Master Association. The existing water treatment facility will continue operating during the construction project until all wells can be redirected through the new treatment facility.
