From The Aquarion Water Company

BRIDGEPORT, CONN. – November 8, 2017 – Aquarion Water Company today announced a water main cleaning project in Redding on Monday, November 13, between 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The water main cleaning project is being undertaken to ensure that customers continue to receive the highest quality water.

The Redding water main cleaning project is estimated to last approximately one day. During that time customers may notice some discoloration in their water. This discoloration results from the temporary disturbance of the water flow, which stirs up naturally occurring minerals that settle in water mains.
