2. Notice of Scoping for Crestwood Drive Water Main Extension
Municipality where proposed project might be located: Naugatuck
Address of Possible Project Location: Crestwood Drive and Autumn Ridge Road
Project Description: The Connecticut Water Company (CWC), in partnership with the Town of Naugatuck, is seeking financial assistance under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program to fund the construction of water main along Crestwood Drive and Autumn Ridge Road to serve approximately 60 residential homes, which are currently served by individual private wells. The project will also be receiving federal funding under the 2016 Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act. Many of private wells serving the residential homes have experienced water quality and quantity problems for many years. The results of water samples collected from certain private wells showed elevated levels of parameters including chloride, hardness, sodium, manganese, and lead. In addition, several wells run out of water periodically throughout the year as they were drilled in areas with inadequate recharge aquifers. The proposed project will comprise the installation of new water main that will be connected to the existing distribution main of the CWC Naugatuck Region Central System located along Autumn Ridge Road.
Approximately, 3,340 lineal feet of 8-inch diameter new main will be installed along the edge of the road beginning at the intersection between Autumn Ridge Road and Crestwood Drive and extends in front of house #10 on Crestwood Drive. From the intersection between Autumn Ridge Road and Crestwood Drive, the new main will be installed to connect to the terminal end of the existing distribution main on Autumn Ridge Road to make a complete loop connection.
