Item 1.Security and Issuer
The class of equity securities to which this statement
on Schedule 13D relates is the Common Stock, no par value per
share ("Securities"), of Aquarion Comapny (the "Issuer"), a
Delaware corporation, with principal offices located at 835 Main
Street, Bridgeport, Connecticut 06604.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli
("Mario Gabelli"), Marc J. Gabelli ("Marc Gabelli") and various
entities which either one directly or indirectly controls or for
which either one acts as chief investment officer. These
entities, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker
Industries, Incorporated ("Spinnaker"), Western New Mexico
Telephone Company ("Western New Mexico"), Entoleter, Inc.
("Entoleter"), Lynch Telecommunications Corporation ("Lynch
Telecom"), Lynch Telephone Corporation ("Lynch Telephone") and
Inter-Community Telephone Company ("Inter-Community")
(collectively, "Lynch and its affiliates"), engage in various
aspects of the securities business, primarily as investment
adviser to various institutional and individual clients, includ-
ing registered investment companies and pension plans, as
broker/dealer and as general partner of various private invest-
ment partnerships. Certain of these entities may also make
investments for their own accounts.
The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own
beneficially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a
particular issuer. Although several of the foregoing persons are
treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting
their beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the
holdings of those who do not qualify as institutional investors
may exceed the 1% threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13G
or implementation of their investment philosophy may from time to
time require action which could be viewed as not completely
passive. In order to avoid any question as to whether their
beneficial ownership is being reported on the proper form and in
order to provide greater investment flexibility and administra-
tive uniformity, these persons have decided to file their
beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D
form rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to
provide more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.
(a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one
or more of the following persons: Gabelli Group Capital Partners,
Inc. ("Gabelli Partners"), Gabelli Asset Management Inc.
("GAMI") , Gabelli Funds, LLC ("Gabelli Funds"), GAMCO

Gabelli & Company, Inc. ("Gabelli & Company"), Gabelli
Performance Partnership L.P. ("GPP"), GLI, Inc. ("GLI"), Gabelli
Associates Fund ("Gabelli Associates"), Gabelli Associates
Limited ("GAL"), Gabelli & Company, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the
"Plan"), Gabelli International Limited ("GIL"), Gabelli Interna-
tional II Limited ("GIL II"), Gabelli International Gold Fund
Limited ("GIGFL"), ALCE Partners, L.P. ("ALCE"), Gabelli
Multimedia Partners, L.P. ("Multimedia Partners"), MJG
Associates, Inc. ("MJG Assocciates"), Gemini Capital Management
Ltd. ("Gemini"), Gabelli Fund, LDC ("LDC"), Gabelli Foundation,
Inc. ("Foundation"), Gabelli Global Partners, Ltd. ("GGP Ltd."),
Gabelli Global Partners, L.P. ("GGP L.P."), Mario Gabelli, Marc
Gabelli, Lynch, Spinnaker, Western New Mexico, Entoleter, Lynch
Telecom, Lynch Telephone and Inter-Community. Those of the
foregoing persons signing this Schedule 13D are hereafter
referred to as the "Reporting Persons".

(d) and (e) - On December 8, 1994, the SEC instituted
and simultaneously accepted offers for the settlement of an
administrative proceeding against Gabelli & Company and GAMCO.
The order instituting the proceeding included a finding, which
Gabelli & Company and GAMCO neither admitted nor denied, that
they failed to implement and maintain policies and procedures
reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic
information by not specifically addressing the special
circumstances that arose from their affiliation with Lynch
Corporation, a public company. To resolve this matter, Gabelli &
Company and GAMCO agreed to cease and desist from violating
Section 15(f) of the 1934 Act and Section 204A of the Advisers
Act, respectively. They further agreed to each pay a civil
penalty in the amount of $50,000, and to retain, and adopt the
recommendations of, an independant consultant regarding their
Section 15(f) and Section 204A policies and procedures.
(f) - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The Reporting Persons used an aggregate of approximate-
ly $25,133,080 to purchase the Securities reported as
beneficially owned in Item 5 below. GAMCO and Gabelli Funds
used approximately $19,472,640 and $3,719,900, respectively, of
funds that were provided through the accounts of certain of their
investment advisory clients (and, in the case of some of such
accounts at GAMCO, may be through borrowings from client margin
accounts) in order to purchase the Securities for such clients.
GAL, GIL and LDC used approximately $69,520, $35,830 and $35,540,
respectively, of working capital to purchase the Securities
reported by them. Gabelli Associates used approximately
$1,090,800 of the investing funds of the partnership to purchase

$36,020 of client funds to purchase the Securities reported by

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Each of the Reporting Persons, with the exceptions of
Lynch and its affiliates, has purchased and holds the Securities
reported by it for investment for one or more accounts over which
it has shared, sole, or both investment and/or voting power, for
its own account, or both.
The Reporting Persons, with the exceptions of Lynch and
its affiliates, are engaged in the business of securities
analysis and investment and pursue an investment philosophy of
identifying undervalued situations. In pursuing this investment
philosophy, the Reporting Persons analyze the operations, capital
structure and markets of companies in which they invest,
including the Issuer, on a continuous basis through analysis of
documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and
market observers and with representatives of such companies
(often at the invitation of management). The Reporting Persons do
not believe they possess material inside information concerning
the Issuer. As a result of these analytical activities one or
more of the Reporting Persons may issue analysts reports,
participate in interviews or hold discussions with third parties
or with management in which the Reporting Person may suggest or
take a position with respect to potential changes in the opera-
tions, management or capital structure of such companies as a
means of enhancing shareholder values. Such suggestions or
positions may relate to one or more of the transactions specified
in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D form,
including, without limitation, such matters as disposing of one
or more businesses, selling the company or acquiring another
company or business, changing operating or marketing strategies,
adopting or not adopting, certain types of anti-takeover measures
and restructuring the company's capitalization or dividend poli-
cy.
Each of the Reporting Persons intends to adhere to the
foregoing investment philosophy with respect to the Issuer. How-
ever, none of the Reporting Persons intends to seek control of
the Issuer or participate in the management of the Issuer, and
any Reporting Person that is registered as an investment company
under the l940 Act will participate in such a transaction only
following receipt of an exemption from the SEC under Rule l7D-l
under the l940 Act, if required, and in accordance with other
applicable law. In pursuing this investment philosophy, each
Reporting Person will continuously assess the Issuer's business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general
economic conditions, the securities markets in general and those
for the Issuer's securities in particular, other developments and
other investment opportunities, as well as the investment
objectives and diversification requirements of its shareholders
or clients and its fiduciary duties to such shareholders or
clients. Depending on such assessments, one or more of the
Reporting Persons may acquire additional Securities or may
determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of its
holdings of Securities. Although the Reporting Persons share the
same basic investment philosophy and although portfolio decisions
are made by or under the supervision of Mario Gabelli, the
investment objectives and diversification requirements of various
clients differ from those of other clients so that one or more
Reporting Persons may be acquiring Securities while others are
disposing of Securities.
With respect to voting of the Securities, the Reporting
Persons have adopted general voting policies relating to voting
on specified issues affecting corporate governance and sharehold-
er values. Under these policies, the Reporting Persons generally
vote all securities over which they have voting power in favor of
cumulative voting, financially reasonable golden parachutes, one
share one vote, management cash incentives and pre-emptive rights
and against greenmail, poison pills, supermajority voting, blank
check preferred stock and super-dilutive stock options.
Exceptions may be made when management otherwise demonstrates
superior sensitivity to the needs of shareholders. In the event
that the aggregate voting position of all joint filers shall
exceed 25% of the total voting position of the issuer then the
proxy voting committees of each of the Funds shall vote their
Fund's shares independently.
Each of the Covered Persons who is not a Reporting
Person has purchased the Securities reported herein as benefi-
cially owned by him for investment for his own account or that of
one or more members of his immediate family. Each such person may
acquire additional Securities or dispose of some or all of the
Securities reported herein with respect to him.
Other than as described above or in Item 4(c) below,
none of the Reporting Persons and none of the Covered Persons who
is not a Reporting Person has any present plans or proposals
which relate to or would result in any transaction, change or
event specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the
Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest In Securities Of The Issuer
(a) The aggregate number and percentage of Securities
to which this Schedule 13D relates is 712,500 shares, repre-
senting 6.25% of the 11,420,765 shares outstanding as reported in
the Issuer's most recently filed Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999. The Reporting Persons beneficially own those
Securities as follows:

As Agent 105,000 0.92%

GIL 1,000 0.01%
Foundation 15,000 0.13%

beneficial ownership of the Securities beneficially owned by GIL.

(b) Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons has
the sole power to vote or direct the vote and sole power to
dispose or to direct the disposition of the Securities reported
for it, either for its own benefit or for the benefit of its
investment clients or its partners, as the case may be, except
that (i) GAMCO does not have the authority to vote 49,500 of the
reported shares, (ii) Gabelli Funds has sole dispositive power
and voting power with respect to the shares of the Issuer held by
the Funds so long as the aggregate voting interest of all joint
filers does not exceed 25% of their total voting interest in the
Issuer and, in that event, the Proxy Voting Committee of each
Fund shall respectively vote that Fund's shares, (iii) at any
time, the Proxy Voting Committee of each such Fund may take and
exercise in its sole discretion the entire voting power with
respect to the shares held by such fund under special circum-
stances such as regulatory considerations, and (iv) the power of
Mario Gabelli, Marc Gabelli, GAMI and Gabelli Partners is
indirect with respect to Securities beneficially owned directly
by other Reporting Persons.
(c) Information with respect to all transactions in the
Securities which were effected during the past sixty days or
since the most recent filing on Schedule 13D, whichever is less,
by each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons is set forth
on Schedule II annexed hereto and incorporated herein by refer-
ence.
(d) The investment advisory clients of Gabelli Funds,
Gabelli Advisers, GAMCO, MJG Associates and Gemini, the partners
of the various partnerships managed by Mario Gabelli or GSI
(including GPP, Gabelli Associates, ALCE, Multimedia Partners
and GGP L.P. to the extent of their economic interest there-in)
and the shareholders of GIL, GIL II and LDC which are managed by
MJG Associates and GAL , GIGFL and GGP Ltd. which are managed by

to the notice, withdrawal and/or termination provisions of such
advisory contracts and partnership arrangements,
the sole power to direct the receipt of dividends from, and the
proceeds of sale of, any of the Securities beneficially owned by
such Reporting Persons. Except as noted, no such client,
partner or shareholder has an interest by virtue of such
relationship that relates to more than 5% of the Securities.
(e) Not applicable.

Gabelli Advisers, GAMCO, MJG Associates and Gemini with respect to
