Be Our Guest
Aquarion Water Company of Connecticut in the spring of 2002 sold the State of Connecticut and The Nature Conservancy rights to 15,300 acres of watershed land. Through a natural resources management agreement with these organizations, Aquarion plays an important role in the preservation of open space for all of Connecticut’s citizens as we work to continuously provide an ample supply of clean, safe water to our customers. Your appreciation for the environment and these pristine properties will help to keep this property the way nature intended.

Aquarion Water of Connecticut takes pride in the satisfaction and joy we bring to our customers and neighbors. Currently, public access opportunities are available on designated properties in Fairfield County, and resource management plans are being developed that will provide for more public access in the future.

If you enjoy fishing, hiking, and bird watching or just simply have a love for the great outdoors, please call our Watershed and Environmental Management Department at 203-452-3510 for information on existing recreation opportunities
