Canterbury was incorporated in 1703.
The Canterbury Aqueduct
Company was incorporated in 1843 by Andrew T. Judson, Isaac Knight, Job
Angel and Joseph Palmer "for the purpose of conducting into the village of
Canterbury, by means of subterraneous
pipes, water, for the use, convenience and safety of said
corporators." The company leased a spring to use as a water supply
and built a system, but a dispute over ownership of the land on which the
well was built was settled adversely to the company in 1853, and it is not
known if they continued operating after that time.
There is no public water supply in Canterbury.
