Wilton Water Supply System Upgrade Nears Completion
A nearly $8 million water supply project in Wilton is set to finish by early November, ahead of its March deadline. The project includes extensive installation of raw water lines, service connections, and upgrades to the water treatment facilities, significantly impacting the community's water infrastructure.

The Wilton water supply project, valued at approximately $8 million, is projected to conclude ahead of its scheduled March deadline, with completion expected in early November. As of the latest update, 6,904 feet of the required 7,800 feet of raw water line have been installed, with 896 feet remaining.
Key tasks completed include the installation of major water mains along Applegate Lane and the connection of customers, alongside the installation of a new water pump. Challenges in directional drilling at Varnum Pond have led to plans for open excavation instead, with work anticipated to start this month.
Remaining project milestones include several critical installations by the end of September and overall project completion by late October. Funding was primarily secured through a $7.448 million bond and a $2.5 million grant. Any leftover funds may be allocated for further upgrades.
