Summary
Ridgefield just unveiled its first-ever elevated water tower on South Fifth Street, set to hold 2.5 million gallons and serve as a game-changer for the city’s growing east side. With 10,000 new residents expected by 2045, this $15 million state-funded project—backed by system development charges—aims to boost storage, ensure consistent pressure, and improve fire safety. The sleek, crane-themed tower will draw water from existing wells and pair with a new well project to future-proof the system. Construction starts this month, with completion targeted for June 2028.
