Aquaion Water Company is a water utility company based in the U.S. state of Connecticut that was first incorporated in 1857.
Aquarion Water Company provides regulated and non-regulated water related services in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. The company is one of the seven largest investor-owned water utility companies in the United States.

In June 2017 Aquarium announced its merger with Eversource Energy for $1.675 billion.[4] Aquarion would become a fully owned subsidiary and retain its own name, adding 300 employees and 230,000 customers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.
