Clinton-based utility company Connecticut Water announced Monday that it replaced more than 93,500 feet, or roughly 18 miles, of water main in 2024. The work consisted of 22 projects in 18 municipalities, at a cost of about $44.5 million, according to Connecticut Water. Some of the pipes replaced were more than 120 years old, including one in Killingly with a date of 1905 on it, the utility said. Fire hydrants were also replaced as part of the initiative. The effort was part of the utility’s Water Infrastructure and Conservation Adjustment program. Connecticut Water said its goal is to replace 1% of its nearly 1,800 miles of water main every year. It prioritizes aging or under-sized water mains.
