The Connecticut Water Company is bringing new water lines to several beach communities this year, including Sound View, where work began this week. The projects, outlined as part of Connecticut Water’s recent merger agreement with San Jose Water, will fund the new pipes and construction through the company’s Water Infrastructure and Conservation Adjustment program, which places a small surcharge on customers’ water bills to pay for water projects throughout the state. In Sound View, Connecticut Water began this week laying down more than 5,000 feet of new 8-inch water mains along the upper portions of Swan and Portland avenues, and on the extensions of Portland, Hartford and Swan avenues north of Route 156, as well as North Lane. Construction will continue until May 22, take a break over summer and begin again Sept. 7.
