Ridgefield to work with Aquarion to plan water line to schools

Plans are being drawn up by Aquarion Water Company to connect Ridgefield High School and Scotts Ridge Middle School to public water.  The two schools are currently on well water, and do meet water quality guidelines, but First Selectman Rudy Marconi said at the recent Board of Selectmen meeting that the town has issues with contamination.  He added that by having public water, that reduces the burden of testing and monitoring. The Board of Selectmen agreed to hold a public hearing August 17th and town meeting September 7th.  Ridgefield will apply for grant assistance through the Clean Water Act.  This would be part of a project by Aquarion at the intersection of Barlow Mountain Road and North Street to install a 10-foot by 20-foot structure to control water pressure.  The water main would be extended up Route 116 to the Craigmoor Road pump station.  There currently is no water line between the Ridgefield main system and the Craigmoor system so residents in that area would be able to get hooked up to the system.
