Since the Town’s May 23, 2018 posting, there is new information the Fairfield Department of Public Works wishes to convey to the public including an updated list of roads:

The Southern Connecticut Gas Company (SCG) has informed the Town of Fairfield of its pending plans to upgrade the existing natural gas mains in the beach neighborhood.

The existing mains in this area are generally over 70 years old, are low pressure, and are cast iron pipes (which tend to be somewhat brittle). SCG will be replacing these with higher pressure, smaller diameter PVC pipes. This is the current industry standard and according to SCG this will improve performance and reliability.

This work will require excavations in the Town road for the main gas line and for the individual home services. The Fairfield Public Works Department (203)-256-3010 will be overseeing this excavation along with the temporary and permanent pavement restoration work. The Fairfield Police Department will be overseeing traffic control during all of the construction work.

The roads involved in this project are as follows:

CARLTON ST
CATHERINE TER
CHARLES ST
CUMMINGS AVE
DWIGHT ST
EASTLAWN ST
FOREST AVE
FOX ST
HOLLIS ST
HOWARD ST
JARVIS CT

Reef Road is expected to be the first road under construction which is expected to begin the week of June 11, 2018. The work on these roads is expected to continue throughout 2018 and in some cases the final paving will be performed in spring of 2019. As SCG provides a time schedule when specific roads are to be under construction, the Town will be posting that information.

Please note SCG has tentative plans for another project in 2019 for similar work in the beach area. A list of those roads will be posted shortly.
