Water main replacement project starts in Newtown tonight

A water main replacement project gets under way in Newtown, starting tonight.  Aquarion Water Company says the work will take place on Church Hill Road between Queen Street and the railroad overpass near Wall Road. 

There will also likely be minor traffic delays and possible detours during the evening working hours of 8pm to 5am.  The project is expected to be completed by mid-December. 

2,100 feet of water main will be replaced as part of an ongoing effort to improve Aquarion’s water distribution system.  The infrastructure replacement project is also aimed at helping to reduce leaks and water main breaks that can cause service interruptions. 

During the project, customers in the area may experience temporary service disruptions or discolored water.  Aquarion recommends customers store water in their refrigerators for drinking and cooking in case these circumstances arise. Customers also should refrain from washing laundry if their water is discolored. Prior to resuming use, customers should run their cold-water faucets until the water appears clear.
