Aquarion water replacement starts this week
STAMFORD — Water company Aquarion is expected to start work on a new water main replacement project in the Cove, according to a company spokesperson.
From Monday until the end of December, crews will be in place along Cove Road, Avery Street and Euclid Avenue. Other replacement projects are slated for George Street, Hale Street, Martin Street, Houston Terrace, Van Buskirk Avenue and part of Sachem Place.
Aquarion said it expects work on the projects to conclude in 2022. Westport-based A.J. Penna and Son Construction will serve as contractor for the initiative.
Overall, Aquarion — which is owned by Eversource Energy and serves the majority of residents in Stamford — expects to replace 10,330 feet of water main.
Construction is expected to run from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. During construction, the company warned that customers could expect traffic delays and detours.
“We greatly appreciate residents’ patience during this project,” project manager Art Bradshaw said in a statement. “We will work closely with our customers, contractors and city officials to coordinate the work and minimize any disruptions.”
The infrastructural upgrade is part of Aquarion’s larger push to “improve (its) water distribution program,” and safeguard against leaks or water main breaks, company officials said.
