2. Notice of Scoping for Emergency Interconnection Between Norwich Public Utilities and Sprague Water & Sewer Authority Water Systems
Municipalities where proposed project might be located: Norwich and Sprague
Addresses of Possible Project Location:#10 Baltic Road (Route 97), Norwich to #186 Main Street (Route 97), Sprague
Project Description: The City of Norwich (City) is receiving financial assistance from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program to extend the City’s existing drinking water distribution main to provide an emergency interconnection to Sprague Water & Sewer Authority (SWSA). The proposed project is intended to provide adequate water supply to SWSA’s customers in the event of a public drinking water supply emergency.
The project comprises the installation of 12-inch diameter water main and other miscellaneous appurtenances starting from the existing terminus of Norwich Public Utility’s (NPU) distribution main at 10 Baltic Road (Route 97) in Norwich and extends northwesterly along Route 97 to the interconnection point with SWSA’s distribution main at 186 Main Street (Route 97) in Sprague. The water main will primarily be installed approximately 4 feet below the existing paved roadway with one bridge crossing at Byron Brook. The water main has been minimally sized to meet the demands for domestic water use for the intended service area and provide fire protection.
