Aquarion Water Company and Eversource are starting a joint water pipeline and gas system project in Wilton.  The project is on Route 106 from Old Kings Highway to Belden Hill Road between 8:30am and 4pm.  All school bus stops will remain at their current locations. The roadway will remain open for emergency vehicles. All other traffic will follow detour routes. 

Electronic billboards will be installed to provide daily updates throughout construction. 

The new 36-inch diameter water main will parallel the existing water main located in Route 106.  The Wilton phase of the project begins at the Belden Hill water tanks. for 1.8 miles to the New Canaan town line at the Silvermine River. 

Eversource Gas will be installing approximately two miles of 16-inch gas pipeline to improve system resiliency between New Canaan and Wilton and increase the availability of gas supply options. 

Construction is slated to end in December 2022.  The pipelines will be constructed in the state or town rights-of-way.  Most will occur in the road, resulting in minimal impacts to private property.  Eversource and Aquarion are investing $9 million in this multi-phase resiliency project this year.
