Water Infrastructure Work Set To Begin June 22 In Stamford

STAMFORD, CT — A water main replacement project is scheduled to begin June 22 on George Street and Hale Street in Stamford, according to Aquarion Water Company. The project is expected to be completed by the end of August.

The project, which will replace approximately 1,460 feet of water main, is part of an ongoing program to improve Aquarion’s water distribution system and to 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 Justin Xenelis, Aquarion’s Manager of Utility Programs, in a news release. "We will work closely with our customers, contractors, and city officials to coordinate the work and minimize any disruptions."

Due to construction, customers should expect minor traffic delays and possible detours during the working hours of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Westport, CT-based A.J. Penna and Son Excavating will be serving as the contractor for the water main replacement project.

To keep customers informed about scheduled/unscheduled work, Aquarion utilizes an Everbridge notification system to call affected customers. Aquarion encourages customers to sign up for this free service here.

Project updates describing the construction status, schedule for the following week, changes in traffic patterns and detours will be posted weekly on Thursday evenings on the city of Stamford website.
