The Mansfield Town Council has approved a long-term supply agreement with Connecticut Water Co., the utility announced.
Under the deal, Connecticut Water will supply town residents with water, including those in the Four Corners section and those who have been receiving their water from UConn’s water supply.
The agreement follows a related supply deal last month between Connecticut Water and UConn — located in the Storrs section of Mansfield.
UConn and Mansfield’s water needs are expected to reach as much as 2.2 million gallons per day over the next 50 years.
Connecticut Water Co. said it would begin seeking state and local permits immediately, which could take a year. Construction of the pipeline is expected to take an additional 18 months.
