Firetown Road Water Main Replacement

Aquarion Water Company will be upgrading the existing water main servicing a portion of Firetown Road from West Street to the existing water tank south of Timber Ridge Drive. The water main is being replaced for a number of reasons including size, location, age, and break history. The work is scheduled to begin within the next few weeks and will continue through the summer. 

Installation of the new water main will be performed via open trench. Signage and flaggers will be posted to alert motorists of temporary alternating one-way traffic through construction areas. At the end of each work day, the road will be opened to two-way traffic. Temporary water outages are expected to be less than an hour, and customers will be contacted by an Aquarion approved contractor or engineering inspector to coordinate switchovers. They will provide identification showing their credentials.

All planned and unplanned outages will be communicated by Aquarion’s Code Red phone calls, which is a free service that customers can sign up for on Aquarion’s website (http://www.aquarion.com/CT).
