Water company plans project in Seymour

BRIDGEPORT - Aquarion Water Co. today announced a water main cleaning and relining project on Silvermine Road in Seymour.

Scheduled to begin Sept. 16, the work is expected to be completed in six to eight weeks. 
During this project, existing water mains will be taken out of service and temporary above ground water lines and fire hydrants will be installed in the roadway shoulders to serve customers.  Short scheduled water outages will occur when customers are connected to temporary water lines, and again when customers are reconnected to the newly lined water main.
Due to construction, customer should expect minor traffic delays and detours during the working hours of 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. 
“We greatly appreciate residents’ patience during this project,” said George Logan, Aquarion’s Director of Engineering & Planning.  “We will work closely with our customers, contractors and local officials to coordinate the work and minimize disruption.”
John J. Brennan Construction, Luch’s Consulting Engineers, and Heitkamp, Inc. were chosen as contractors for this water main relining project.
