Getting to know Bridgeport
Aquarion Water Company supplies Bridgeport's drinking water. Billing and water quality questions go straight to Aquarion. United Illuminating provides electricity, and Southern Connecticut Gas provides natural gas. Outages and gas smells go to those utilities, not to a contractor. Bridgeport's nickname, the Park City, comes from its public parks, including Seaside Park.
P.T. Barnum helped create Seaside Park and served as the city's mayor. Building permits are filed through the city's online portal and require a zoning review. A contractor can usually handle the filing for the work they do. Nor'easters bring heavy rain, wind and coastal flooding along Long Island Sound. Clearing gutters and storm drains before a big storm can help.
Many older homes in Bridgeport heat with boilers feeding radiators. A boiler tune-up before the heating season is a good habit. Two- and three-family houses are common in older neighborhoods. Shared walls and stairs mean repairs in one unit can affect the others.
