Aquarion Water Co.’s unquenched thirst for small water operators led the Bridgeport utility back to Connecticut’s northwest corner, where it swallowed up a Brookfield vendor.
Aquarion announced Tuesday its acquisition of the Indian Fields Homeowners Association’s water system, an independent system serving some 130 customers a mile from Brookfield’s center.
Price wasn’t revealed.
In September, Aquarion completed its $38.5 milion buyout of United Water Co.’s western Connecticut water works, which served some 24,000 customers in New Milford, Newtown, Brookfield, Bethel and Woodbury.
Aquarion, a unit of Australia’s Macquarie Bank, also bought two other Connecticut water providers earlier this year.
Since 2011, Aquarion, a unit of has bought and integrated 56 Connecticut water systems into its portfolio, said CEO Charles V. (Chuck) Firlotte.
It now serves more than 625,000 people in 47 cities and towns throughout Connecticut’s Fairfield, New Haven, Hartford, Litchfield, Middlesex and New London counties.
