3. Notice of Scoping for Emergency Interconnection Between Ledyard WPCA Water System and SCWA Water Systems

Municipality where proposed project might be located: Ledyard

Addresses of Possible Project Locations: Hill Street, Chriswood Trace, Iron Street, Ferry View Drive, and Fairway Drive in Ledyard

Project Description: The City of Groton (City) is receiving financial assistance from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program for the Groton Utilities (GU) Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Upgrade project. The proposed emergency interconnections between the Ledyard Water Pollution Control Authority (WPCA) Water System and five of Southeastern Connecticut Water Authority’s (SCWA) small public water systems are associated with WTP Upgrade project as it will enable GU to wheel water through the Ledyard WPCA to provide water supply to the SCWA systems if needed in an emergency. These emergency interconnection projects are essential to provide five of SCWA’s small public water systems with the ability to continue providing water service to their customers in the event of an emergency. Although these emergency interconnection projects are not receiving funding from the DWSRF program, they are being scoped due to their association with state grant funding that the City received for the GU WTP project.

The project comprises installation of five segments of new 6-inch and 8-inch diameter ductile iron water pipes totaling approximately 2,070 lineal feet, isolation valves, meter pits, water meters of various sizes, and other miscellaneous appurtenances along Hill Street, Chriswood Trace, Iron Street, Ferry View Drive, and Fairway Drive in Ledyard, CT. The new main will be connected to the existing distribution system of Ledyard WPCA located at Route 117, Colonel Ledyard Highway, and Route 12. The new main will be installed along the roadway. The water mains have been minimally sized to meet the only the demands for domestic water use for the intended service areas.
