FromAquarion Water Company

With a historical perspective driven by pride and environmental concern, Aquarion has always proven to be a great caretaker of the environment. With responsibility for nearly twenty thousand pristine acres near and around its reservoirs, Aquarion has a demonstrated track record of maintaining and improving the land. Working in partnership with the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and The Nature Conservancy, Aquarion agreed in 2002 to conserve 15,300 acres of forest near its reservoirs as a way to preserve open space, safeguard ecosystems, protect water supplies and provide for public use consistent with those goals. Two years later, Governor Jodi Rell dedicated this land as the Centennial Watershed State Forest under the management of the three partners working together as the Centennial Committee.
