2. Notice of Scoping for Well 1A Raw Water Main and Well 6 Water Treatment Plant Improvement Project

Municipality where proposed project might be located: East Lyme

Address of Possible Project Location: East Lyme Middle School, 31 Society Road, Niantic– access road between school and playing fields.

Project Description: The Town of East Lyme is seeking financial assistance under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program for the proposed improvements to its existing greensand filtration system located at the Well 6 Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and a raw water main from Well 1A to the improved Well 6 WTP. The water from Well 1A contains elevated levels of iron and manganese.  Approximately 1,400 lineal feet of new 12-inch diameter ductile iron main will be installed to convey the raw water from Well 1A to the Well 6 WTP where it can be treated for iron and manganese removal.  The Well 6 WTP is being improved to accommodate the additional flow from Well 1A.  The project will also include a building addition next to the existing WTP to accommodate new treatment equipment and additional chemical storage, emergency generator installation, and associated components.
