‘It Only Took 15 Minutes To Get the First Complaint’: South Avenue Closure Underway

The summer-long closure of a major north-south artery into New Canaan is off to a so-so start, officials said Tuesday. This week, the water company began installing a 36-inch pipe along South Avenue, between Harrison Avenue and Farm Road. The work will continue up until school starts again. According to Public Works Director Tiger Mann, municipal officials started receiving feedback immediately from motorists. “It only took 15 minutes to get the first complaint,” Mann said during a regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen, held at Town Hall and via videoconference.
Within 10 feet, Aquarion “had to go underneath the waterline, which was unanticipated,” Mann said.
