Aquarion Water Company has announced a week-long water main cleaning project in parts of Stonington and Mystic, Connecticut starting on Monday. The work will take place daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and may result in temporary low water pressure, discolored water, or brief service interruptions for customers in the affected areas.

Why it matters

Regular water main cleaning is an important part of maintaining water quality and infrastructure across Aquarion's service area. However, the temporary disruptions can be inconvenient for residents, so advance notice allows them to prepare accordingly.

The details

Aquarion crews will be performing routine maintenance on the water distribution system, aiming to remove mineral buildup that can cause discoloration and other issues. Customers may need to run cold water until it clears after the work is completed. Several streets in Stonington and Mystic are expected to be impacted, including Jerry Brown Road, portions of Greenmanville Avenue, Whitehall Avenue, and Main Street.

  • The water main cleaning project will take place from Monday, April 14 to Friday, April 18, 2026.
