Beginning the week of April 21, 2025, the Metropolitan District of Hartford (MDC) and their contractor, Burns Construction Company (Stratford, CT), will be starting construction to replace watermains, fire hydrants and water service lines along the Silas Deane Highway from Parsonage Street in Rocky Hill to Mill Street in Wethersfield. Also included is Town Line Road from Silas Deane Highway to Charter Road. While one travel lane in each direction is going to be maintained during the work, there may be delays when the construction crew is working, so please consider alternate routes.
The purpose of this project is to upgrade the watermains and fire hydrants and replace the water services to the property line for each adjacent property. Oversight and inspection will be performed by the MDC and their consulting engineer, Kleinfelder (Rocky Hill, CT). MDC will coordinate with each property owner to make connections to the new watermain with minimal disruption.
Work hours are expected to be Sunday through Thursday 8:00 p.m. – 5:00 a.m. If there is daytime work, it will be Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Construction will continue through the spring, summer and fall of 2025 and is expected to be completed in August 2026. Please remember that this is NOT a town project, and we are not in control of the schedule or the progress of the work.
Any questions or concerns about the construction project can be directed to the MDC’s Julie McLaughlin at 860-278-7850 ext. 3309.
