1. Notice of Scoping for the East Lyme-New London Interconnection Revision to Scoping Notice Posted on May 17, 2011

Municipalities where proposed project might be located: East Lyme, Montville, New London and Waterford

Addresses of Possible Project Locations: The project will begin between the northern terminus of the East Lyme water main on Route 161, run along Route 161 to Butlertown Road, from Butlertown Road veering behind an industrial lot on the corner of Butlertown Road and Sachatello Industrial Drive to Sachatello Industrial Drive, from Sachatello Industrial Drive to Route 85 and from Route 85 to New London’s Water Treatment Plant.

Project Description: The project will involve installing a 16 inch transmission water main from the existing northern terminus of the Town of East Lyme’s water main on Route 161 to the City of New London’s Water Treatment Plant near Lake Konomoc. The project is designed solely to transfer water between the Town of East Lyme and City of New London in order for the Town of East Lyme to meet summertime peak demands of their current service area, address other public health and water system operational needs within the Town of East Lyme and provide fire protection for enhanced public safety along the transmission water main. The project will include the installation of a 400,000 gallon water storage tank in the Montville Industrial Park, a booster/pressure reducing station, meter and manhole structures and appurtenances and necessary improvements to the New London Water Treatment Plant. The project will also include hydrants along the entire length of the transmission water main and individual fire service connections to certain lots as identified within the attached letter to the Department of Public Health from the Town of East Lyme for public safety purposes. There will be no domestic water supply provided to any properties along the entire length of the water transmission main.
