Mystic -- The Aquarion Water Company has announced a water main replacement project is scheduled to begin Wednesday on Mistuxet Avenue.

The company said the project, which will replace 9,120 feet of water main, is part of a program to improve its water distribution system and ensure the highest quality water. The upgrade is also designed to help reduce leaks and water main breaks.

Customers should expect minor traffic delays and possible detours between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.

To keep its customers informed about scheduled/unscheduled work, Aquarion uses a CodeRED notification system to call affected customers. Customers can sign up for the free service at www.aquarionwater.com/codered.

Customers with project-related questions may contact John Farrell, Aquarion’s project manager, at (203) 362-3048.
