Based on the feasibility study report of the project area, a number of private wells have experienced water quality and quantity problems.  The results of recent well water sampling conducted by the Town showed that numerous private wells have water containing coliform bacteria and E. Coli. In addition, concentrations of nitrate, sodium and chloride are elevated.

The proposed project will comprise of installation of new water main that will be connected to the existing distribution main of the Connecticut Water Company located near the intersection of Colonial Road and Sachem Head Road. The new main will traverse the open area between Vineyard Point and Lower Road, then runs along Daniel Avenue to Mulberry Point.  The water main has been minimally sized to meet the demands for domestic water use and satisfy fire protection requirements specified by the Town Fire Marshall for the intended service area.
