EAST HAVEN, CT — The Regional Water Authority has begun installing water mains located on Cosey Beach Avenue, from Coe Avenue east to the end of the road. The project is part of its Capital Improvement Program.

The project is designed to "improve water quality and system reliability, and maintain adequate flows throughout the system," according to the RWA and a statement from East Haven Mayor Joseph A Carfora.

This work is expected to take 12 to 14 weeks to complete.

Scope of Work:

• Installation of approximately 2,100 linear feet of water main.
• Replacement of water service lines in public space, as needed.
• Replacement of fire hydrants and valves, as needed.

From the RWA:

Our water systems – underground, out of sight and out of mind – work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, to bring reliable, high-quality water to the region.

We invest millions of dollars annually in infrastructure improvement projects to upgrade our water systems to provide for and protect the water supply and to meet drinking water standards. These infrastructure investments improve water quality, service reliability and water flows throughout our system.

Construction will take place from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. See below for the projects scheduled for 2024-25 and details about the section of main to be replaced and the start date. All work will involve the replacement of water service lines in the public space, as needed, and the replacement of fire hydrants and valves.
