New Milford Water Line Work Starts Monday

NEW MILFORD, CT — Aquarion Water Company will begin performing infrastructure work in New Milford on Monday. The project is anticipated to be completed in August.

The work is to "ensure continued system reliability," according to a statement from Aquarion. The project, which will clean and line approximately 1,290 feet of water main, will take place on Harmony Trail. Once the project is complete, the Town of New Milford will begin paving.

The infrastructure upgrades will also help reduce leaks and water main breaks that can cause service interruptions.

“We greatly appreciate residents’ patience during this project,” Justin Xenelis, Aquarion’s Manager of Utility Programs, said in a statement. “We will work closely with our customers, contractors, and town officials to coordinate the work and minimize any disruptions.”

Due to construction, customers should expect minor traffic delays and possible detours during the working hours of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Windsor Locks-based Paganelli Construction Corporation and Watertown-based Michels Corporation will be serving as the contractors for the project.
